Directions Blend beans, lemon, garlic, rosemary and tahini. Add water gradually until creamy. Season with pepper and chill before serving. Inspired by Shared Food Patterns
Blue Zone Connection The combination of white beans, tahini, lemon and rosemary keeps this recipe centered on whole and minimally processed plant foods. That approach is consistent with the plant-forward eating pattern associated with Sardinia and Ikaria. This is a modern Blue Zone–inspired recipe, not presented as a traditional dish from either community.
Helpful Notes Use rosemary sparingly at first; its flavor becomes stronger as the dip rests. Add water or lemon juice a teaspoon at a time until the dip is easy to spread. Estimated Nutrition Per serving
