White Bean Dip
This white bean dip recipe is great for entertaining and is very versatile. For example, we've used it as the base for a puree in our Grilled Fish with Creamy Lemon & Basil Sauce Recipe.For those who are very sodium conscious, look for cannelloni beans not packed in brine (the ones used in this recipe were). If you can't find them, you'll need to buy raw beans and prepare them yourself, which is quite a bit more effort.
