In a mini food processor, combine the parsley and celery leaves with the remaining olive oil and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the white bean dip to a shallow bowl and make a well in the center of the dip with the back of a spoon. Pour the parsley oil into the well and serve with flatbread or pita chips.
