Tuscan White Bean Dip created by appleydapply

I was looking for a heathy appetizer to take to a party and decided a good garlicy white bean dip would be the choice. A friend had sent me a recipe for a bean dip. I tried the dip and then tweaked it to my taste. This ultimately should be served on pita chips, however not being able to buy those in Holland, I chose to use plain salted tortilla chips. My recipe was a complete success at the party. People loved it and not a drop was left. At first when told of the dip my husband was skeptical of a healthy bean dip. However he raved about it as well.

This is an easy, economical dip for when you are craving hummus and don't have any on hand. We liked it except that we could taste the dijon mustard which I'd leave out next time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
