Tuscan Bean Dip

Tuscan Bean Dip 

We are becoming avid fans of bean dips. Olives could easily replace the capers if you have them on hand or even better make it a combination of the two.

Serve with baked tortilla, pita chips, crackers or vegetable dippers.

The next time I think I would rather mix the copped veggies into the bean base rather than just have them on top.

Makes 2 servings                                                               0 WW pp / serving
