In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, minced garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula a couple of times.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Once the dip is blended to your liking, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Optional: Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced vegetables, or pita bread, or store in the refrigerator for later use.
This dip can be made a day in advance to enhance the flavors. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Feel free to add additional spices like smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
You can substitute lemon juice with vinegar for a different acidity profile.
