Creamy White Bean Dip

We recently celebrated my sons first birthday party. The big 1! The party ended up being a cross between a kiddie party and an adult tea party. Fun! But a lot of work. And in all that I forgot to take photograph of the dip I'm talking about here! Here is a photo of the spread involved, and that's all I can share until I make it again and photograph it. 


All I can say is that it's always been a crowd pleaser! This is a great dip recipe to have on hand: quick and easy, delicious and healthy, at the same time it's also easy to have most of these ingredients stored in your pantry. Thank you Bon Appétit for a fabulous recipe!
