- 1 (15 oz) can white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested (about 1 tablespoon juice)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the drained artichoke hearts, rinsed cannellini beans, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, fresh thyme, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic into a 7-cup food processor or blender.
