Good as either a dip or a spread, this easy olive-bean mixture livens up anything it tops. It tastes great with roasted or grilled vegetables, grilled or roasted chicken, or a veggie burger.
What to buy: Dried beans can be substituted for the canned beans if you prefer. Use 1 1/2 cups cooked beans for each 15-ounce can of beans called for.

INSTRUCTIONS
Place 1 (15-ounce) can drained white beans, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Pulse until mostly smooth but there’s still some texture, about 5 to 8 pulses. Add 2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives and 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil and pulse to combine.
