I love hummus, so I was excited to try a variation using white beans. This dip is so delicious. I like to serve my dips/hummus' with fried eggplant. They pair so well together. I generously spread the dip on toasted bread, layer it with fried eggplant, shredded deli chicken and fresh spinach leaves - great lunch time meal. I would definitely recommend this dip. It's awesome. I will post the photo soon. I made this for PAC 2013
