Creative Sauce & Topping Combos

This versatile bean spread pairs beautifully with a variety of toppings. For a *herby twist*, try adding fresh basil or rosemary to the spread itself. Top your sandwich with avocado, arugula, and hemp seeds for a *nutritious crunch*, or go bold with roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. The possibilities are endless!

Perfect Pairings for Your Sandwich

Serve your sandwich with a side of *crispy veggie chips* or a light *mixed greens salad* for a complete meal. If you’re feeling fancy, add a bowl of *tomato basil soup* for a cozy, comforting combo. This spread also works great as a dip for raw veggies or pita chips!

Storage Tips for Freshness

Store the bean spread in an *airtight container* in the fridge for up to 5 days. If it thickens, simply stir in a splash of water or lemon juice to revive its creamy texture. For longer storage, freeze it in small portions and thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to use.

Quick & Easy Time-Saving Hacks

To save time, prep the spread ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for *ready-to-go sandwiches*. Use pre-minced garlic or bottled lemon juice if you’re in a pinch. For a *no-fuss meal*, spread it on pre-sliced bread or wraps and add your favorite toppings straight from the fridge.

Customize It Your Way

This recipe is super adaptable! Swap cannellini beans for chickpeas or white beans for a slightly different flavor. Add a pinch of *smoked paprika* or *red pepper flakes* for a spicy kick. For a creamier texture, blend in a tablespoon of tahini or Greek yogurt. Make it your own!
