Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed white beans, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice to a food processor or blender. Blend on high until very smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Add the nutritional yeast, salt, ground celery, and fresh pepper, and blend thoroughly on high.
Add the chopped fresh chives and blend on high again for a few seconds, just until the chives are mixed into the dip. Don’t over-do it on this blending step or the dip may start to take on a green tinge! You want the chives to be intact, just mixed well within the dip.
Serve immediately, drizzled with a little olive oil, or refrigerate for up to 10 days.
