If you combined the bold flavor of sun-dried tomato pesto with the creamy texture of white bean hummus, you’d get something a lot like this vegan sun-dried tomato white bean dip.
It’s incredibly delicious and easy to make in 15 minutes. Everything goes straight into the food processor: cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon, and a few seasonings. The result is a savory dip you can enjoy with crackers, veggies, or spread on sandwiches and wraps.
And if you love sun-dried tomatoes as much as I do, don’t miss my sun-dried tomato cannellini bean salad and roasted Brussels sprouts with sun-dried tomato pesto.

Ingredients
- Canned white beans: Look for ones labeled cannellini beans, white kidney beans, or great northern beans.
- Aquafaba: This is the liquid from the can of beans. It's a magical ingredient that will help make the sun-dried tomato dip extra creamy.
- Sun-dried tomato packed in olive oil: I recommend these over the dehydrated ones for the best taste and texture.
Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete ingredients, measurements, and instructions.
Instructions
- Add the beans, a couple tablespoons of aquafaba, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano to the food processor bowl.
- Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, as needed.
- If your dip is a little too thick, add another tablespoon of the bean liquid.
- Process until completely smooth, adding a little salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy right away or refrigerate for later.
Serving suggestions
This sun-dried tomato white bean dip is versatile and easy to enjoy in lots of ways:
- Serve with crackers, pita chips, or crostini for a quick vegan snack or party appetizer.
- Pair with raw veggies like cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas.
- Spread on sandwiches, wraps, or toast for an extra boost of flavor.
