Instructions
- 1
Add the drained white beans, 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides once halfway through.

With the processor running, add water 1 tbsp at a time until the dip reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency — it should hold its shape when scooped but not be stiff or pasty.
