This elegant balsamic bean dip is a sophisticated yet simple addition to any vegan appetiser spread. By blending creamy cannellini beans with fruity olive oil and tangy balsamic vinegar, you create a velvety base that is naturally high in plant-based protein. The addition of sun-dried tomato oil provides a rich, savoury depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with the acidity of the vinegar, making it a much more interesting alternative to standard shop-bought hummus.

Ideal for light snacking or as a healthy starter, this versatile dip is best served with a vibrant array of crunchy crudités and lightly toasted pita bread wedges. It is a fantastic option for a quick homemade lunch or a stress-free party platter for guests. You can even prepare the purée a day in advance and store it in the fridge, adding the final drizzle of oil just before serving for the best visual appeal.
