Roasted Garlic White Bean Dip

Submitted by DrGaellon

"Adapted from a recipe by LGUROWITZ at allrecipes.com. Original author's note: "This is a rich tasting bean dip or spread that uses nonfat sour cream. It's great on veggies, pita, crackers, tortillas or just on a spoon. To use dry navy beans, soak them 8 hours, or overnight, then simmer them in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover for approximately 45 minutes, until soft. Enjoy!""

I think it was good, but not better than any other white bean dip recipes. Mine was a bit too sweet for me due to roasted garlic being sweet in addition to the sweet onion.
