- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Notes
Note 1: Substitute with navy beans, white kidney beans or Great Northern beans. If using beans you cooked (rather than canned), use about 1 ⅔ cups cooked beans.
Note 2: For a vegetarian dip, use Parmesan cheese made with vegetable rennet rather than animal rennet.
Note 3: If you're sensitive to spice, feel free to omit the cayenne pepper.
