Ingredients
1 14 oz. can while cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
½ c fresh baby kale
¼ c fresh parsley
Juice of ½ lemon (about 2 T)
2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
1 t salt
¼ t pepper
¼ t cayenne pepper
2 T olive oil plus 1 t for drizzle

Instructions
Place all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor and blend on high until all ingredients are combined. Slowly drizzle in 2 T of olive oil until mixture is smooth. You may need to periodically stop the processor and scrape the walls so all of the ingredients get incorporated. Place in a small serving bowl and drizzle with remaining teaspoon of olive oil.
