A healthy plant-based recipe this delicious will be sure to impress your family and friends and leave them wanting more!
Why This Recipe Works
Protein-Packed: The white bean dip alone brings in a hefty amount of protein.
Quick & Simple: Less than 30 minutes, and you have a gourmet-style plant-based meal.
Meal Prep Friendly: Make the dip in advance for quick assembly during the week.
Ingredient Notes
Mushrooms: We love the combination of shimeji and oyster mushrooms, but feel free to get creative; king oyster mushroom or shiitake would also be lovely here.
White Beans: A protein and fiber powerhouse that takes the creamiest texture once blended.
Coriander: Fresh is a much for taste and for that vibrant green color.
Broccolini: A vitamin-rich alternative to broccoli and just as tasty. It’s super easy to prepare, and we love to add it to lots of dishes. Just add the broccolini to a pan on medium heat with a spray of oil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally until it’s tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Turmeric Rice: To create turmeric rice, simply add 1 tsp of turmeric to your rice cooking water with a crack of black pepper.
Step-By-Step Instructions
First, blend all the dip ingredients and chill it in the fridge. Then, shred your choice of mushrooms and cook them until the water evaporates. Spice it up and give it a good stir. Meanwhile, get those broccolini tender and ready. Finally, assemble your plate with a generous layer of dip, followed by the rice, broccolini, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of pistachios. Optional: A drizzle of chili oil for that extra kick!

Hello Sara, thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe. The dip was yummy and the rest of the favours came together really well. I love watching you on you tube! I will definitely be cooking this again. Plus I had added leftover dip for sandwiches. YUMMO
That makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing Wendy, such a good idea to use it in sandwiches, that would have been delicious 💚
I loved the recipe, but was sad that my dip did not work out quite like yours, probably due to my food processor/blender. Instead of having a nice green spread it was just kinda greyish from the white beans with tiny pieces of cilantro… I added half an avocado to the mix just because I really wanted a green color – it helped to make it light green, but never that bright as in our photos…It was delicious though!
Hey Vanessa,
I’m glad you could make it work. Avocado would have been a delicious addition. A food processor will always be a bit more grainy, but next time you make it, you could try doubling the quantities. This could help get your blades going. You could also try adding more yogurt; it might be a bit more liquid, but it could help get a more homogeneous result.
