For a smoother dip, peel the skins off the Great Northern beans before processing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried basil and ½ teaspoon of dried oregano. Serve with an assortment of fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, cucumbers), pita bread, or crackers. To elevate the dish, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
