Easy Italian white bean dip

Store-bought pesto streamlines the prep for this creamy, herbaceous dip that is packed with fiber and protein. Be sure to read labels on jarred pesto if you have a gluten sensitivity or nut allergy. Though pine nuts are considered a seed, they are best avoided by those with nut allergies as a precaution against cross-contamination. In the heat of summertime, consider making homemade pesto, especially if your herb garden is in full flush—you can always substitute canned chickpeas for the pine nuts if need be.
