4 cups cooked cannellini beans; if using canned, rinse and drain
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tablespoons minced garlic
1 Tablespoon CuisineMentor Mediterranean Grill Spice Blend
the juice and zest of half a lemon (zest first, then juice it)
salt to taste
4 green onions, green part only, finely chopped

Add beans, olive oil, garlic, spice blend and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Secure the lid and process until smooth. Try a small bite, adjust salt to taste. Stir well and pour into a container with a tight fitting lid. Refrigerate at least an hour, but preferably overnight. This gives the flavors a chance to blend and bloom.

Serve cold, garnished with lemon zest and finely chopped green onion tops, with vegetable sticks, pita chips, breadsticks, toast or crackers. Or serve this warm as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.
