Savory Pumpkin Bean Dip

Pumpkin Bean Dip is an easy healthy appetizer, that is gluten-free, vegan, low in fat and high in fiber. I've been on a bit of a pumpkin kick lately (Who isn't?), and was in the mood for some creamy protein rich  bean dip, this was the result.  It has a little kick, but isn't too spicy.

It is an easy pantry recipe, as the primary ingredients are canned pumpkin, canned white beans and olive oil.

Making the Pumpkin Dip

The preparation is very simple. First blend the garlic down in the food processor. Then add the pumpkin puree and white beans along with the rest of the ingredients and pulse until smooth.

What to serve with Pumpkin Dip

This lightly spicy dip goes great with vegetables (like the carrot sticks pictured), but also teams well with a wide assortment of chips and crackers. Pita chips would be a great choice.

A  perfect recipe for fall and packed with nutrients, so enjoy!

Recipe variations

• for a richer color and smokey flavor add a ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika to the dip or simply sprinkle some on
