- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt to taste
FOR GARNISH: Olive oil, spicy chili flakes

Notes
Makes about 1.5 cups.
Heat Factor: If you feel the white bean dip is too spicy, add in another 1/4 cup of crema our sour cream, which will counteract some of the heat. If you'd like to up the heat and spiciness, add in spicy red chili flakes, spicy chili powder, or a chopped fresh or roasted hot pepper.
