Last week I made a big batch of white beans to use in a white bean cassoulet. I had a lot of leftovers, so after trying to decide between making white bean brownies and a white bean dip, I opted for the dip, as I really didn’t feel like taking the time for a baking project—or the cleanup.
This came together very quickly and was delicious, especially when spread on some sprouted grain toast and topped with sautéed mushrooms.
I love instagram—maybe a little too much
