All ingredients are stocked at any major Charlotte chain—cannellini beans are a pantry staple, chives are in the produce section year-round, and the rest are common basics. The stated ten minutes is honest; there's minimal prep beyond draining beans and chopping chives, with no cooking required. At roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving, this is genuinely cheap, driven by canned beans and pantry staples with no specialty items. It reheats fine as a dip or spread, and the simplicity makes it reliable for weeknight snacking or meal prep, though it's less a main dish than a component.
