If using canned beans, reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

Put in serving bowl and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the top. Sprinkle a pinch of Kosher salt and cracked pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and lemon wedges to squirt on at the last minute. If desired, crumble some feta cheese over the top.

Serve with crackers, crostini, or grilled baguette.
