Very interesting dip. I followed the recipe except for halving it and replaced celery (yuck) with some chopped sweet pepper instead. Oh, and I also left out the salt (wasn't needed IMO). Used homemade dill pickles. Almost forgot, the food processor was having trouble with the thickness so I added a Tbsp of water to thin a little. Served with tortilla chips. Not sure I'll make this again but I'm very happy to have tried something different with one of my favorite ingredients (beans!) Thanks for sharing :)
