Roasted Garlic White Bean Dip

If you like hummus, then you will most likely enjoy this white bean dip. It makes for a great alternative dip. Bake some homemade pita chips to dunk with, or be extra healthy and dip veggies in it. I also frequently enjoy a good slather of this on a veggie sandwich.

Good stuff either way you choose to eat it.
