Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Use a sharp knife and trim the top 1/3" - 1/2" of the head of garlic. Place the garlic in a small piece of tin foil (use the trimmed pieces as well) Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Seal up the tin foil and roast for 30 minutes or until garlic is very tender. Remove from oven and let the garlic rest until it's cool enough to handle. Remove the garlic cloves from the peel and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium high heat until the oil starts to moire and is hot but not smoking. Turn off the heat and immediately add the chopped herbs. The oil will sizzle because of the freshness of the herbs. Swirl the pan so that the herbs are completely coated with the hot oil and set aside.
- Drain the cannellini beans in a mesh strainer, but DO NOT RINSE THE BEANS. Discard the bean liquid. Transfer the beans to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until the beans resemble a chunky dip.
- To the bean mixture, add the oil and herb mixture, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate the ingredients. Add the garlic and lemon juice and pulse to puree the roasted garlic.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and pulse 2-3 times to combine.
- Transfer the white bean dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the dip and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve with pita chips or fresh crudite.

This is a spinoff of a Mexican dip I had once. The original was wicked good, but since I was going through an "I'm-so-over-Mexican-dip" phase, I decided to switch it up. Take it to a party-I'll bet you no one else will bring anything like it! -Mandy Rivers, Lexington, South Carolina

TUSCAN WHITE BEAN DIP
I was looking for a heathy appetizer to take to a party and decided a good garlicy white bean dip would be the choice. A friend had sent me a recipe for a bean dip. I tried the dip and then tweaked it to my taste. This ultimately should be served on pita chips, however not being able to buy those in Holland, I chose to use plain salted tortilla chips. My recipe was a complete success at the party. People loved it and not a drop was left. At first when told of the dip my husband was skeptical of a healthy bean dip. However he raved about it as well.

- In a food processor, combine beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, parsley, red pepper flakes, basil and mustard.
- Process mixture until creamy smooth.
- Sample mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour mixture into serving bowl, garnish with a sprig of parsley and 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.

Tips:
- Soaking the beans overnight: This is an important step to soften the beans and reduce cooking time. If you're short on time, you can also quick-soak the beans by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
- Using a blender or food processor: This is the easiest way to get a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can also mash the beans by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Seasoning the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serving the dip: Tuscan white bean dip can be served as an appetizer with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
