Skinny Black Bean Dip

Melanie B.'s Note:

I love the challenge of slimming down fattening foods. I have to admit, I LOVE my butter, cream, and other fats...so its tough for me to get recipe to taste EXACTLY as good as the original...but its fun to try to get them close. Better yet, I feel great after eating them - refreshing. This one is my take on Black Bean Dip, I hope you like it as much as I do.
