Why choose Hojiblanca olives from Spain

Because Spanish Hojiblanca olives are my favorite! That's reason enough, right? Honestly, I love all olives from Spain, but these are extra special. The flavor is very mild so they're easily loved by everyone.

Even my three-year-old can't stop herself from eating these. That picture of the ingredients up there almost didn't happen cause her little hand kept sneaking in to steal from the bowl. It's pretty awesome when your little one chooses a snack that's full of essential vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants.

Because of their mild flavor and buttery texture, they're very versatile. They're as great to cook with (like in this Spanish Baked Eggs recipe) as they are to eat as a snack.

And we're not the only ones who love these. Did you know that one out of every two olives eaten in Canada is from Spain? We clearly love our Spanish olives!

How to make this white bean dip recipe

Let's give it up for easy dip recipes! This one is so easy that it's almost silly. Want to know how to make it? (You might want to sit down for this one.)

• Put the 6 ingredients into your blender, add some water, and turn it on.

Phew, what a lot of work. Joking! This is the easiest ever.

Best dippers for bean dip

Crackers are always a winning go-to with dips, but I often serve this dip with veggies instead. My favorites are red pepper, broccoli, snap peas, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices.

Turn this dip into lunch

Keeping this dip made in the fridge is handy for more than just snack time. Because it packs well, you can easily turn it into lunch. I like to use lunch containers with separated areas so the dip stays in one place. Here are a few ideas:

• Chicken + dip + extra Hojiblanca olives from Spain on the side.
• Crackers + deli meats + veggies and dip.
• Chopped tomatoes and green peppers on top of the dip and tortilla chips on the side.

Or you can spread it onto a sandwich or turn it into a lettuce wrap. Both are delicious!

White bean dip variations

Why have one recipe when you can have five? Using this recipe as a base, you can switch it just a little to create new and exciting dips every day.

1. Use pitted Gordal olives from Spain for a more pronounced olive flavor and pretty flecks of green.
2. Add a teaspoon of lemon zest and a teaspoon of fresh thyme.
3. Swap the lemon for lime, add a generous pinch of cayenne and drizzle the top with chili oil.
4. Add 5 whole roasted garlic cloves.
5. Switch up the beans. Try chickpeas, black beans, or edamame beans.
