Suggested Tools
- Santuko knife – My favorite knife for cutting vegetables! This knife is the perfect size and shape, handles great, and is super reasonably priced. Also, I just love that it’s fun and colorful!
- End grain cutting board – This is my absolute favorite cutting board and the one that I get the most compliments on. And p.s. I have a lot of cutting boards. It really is absolutely stunning, and knows how to take a beating. We use it every single day!
- Stick blender – Possibly the most used gadget in my entire kitchen. The key to making a hand blender useful versus a giant pain in the butt is to rinse it immediately after using. That way you’re never trying to get crusty dried goop out from under the blades.

This White Bean Dip recipe was originally developed in partnership with Mirum Shopper.
We used Hellmann’s mayonnaise to make our spread super creamy and rich tasting. If you’ve been hanging around my site or my show for any time, you know I’m a hardcore Hellmann’s fan. Conveniently, I was able to grab all the ingredients for this recipe, and dinner, at our local Walmart.
Our Tuscan White Bean Dip Recipe was inspired by the Vegan Tuscan Bean Dip the from the Walmart Food Hub. You can find other simple recipes your family will love from brands you love like Hellmann’s, Lipton, Knorr, Country Crock from Walmart at the Walmart Food Hub!
