Bean Dip With Horseradish

"A great vegetarian recipe from Dr. Andrew Weil. Tasty and good for you too. This could also be used as a filling with lettuce and veggies for a pita sandwich. Dr. Weil does not have it listed in his recipe but I like a dash or two of hot sauce and some red pepper flakes added to my dip."

  1. This was very good. I used white northern beans, left out the scallions and salt and used garlic powder. We'll be making this one again!
     
  2. Oh wow! I followed your directions and your suggestions (2 TBS horseradish and some red pepper flakes) and this was really excellent with toasted pita chips. Low in WW points, too because of the fiber. I will be making this again. Reviewed for PAC Spring 08
