Two Healthy Butter Bean Dips for Meatless Monday!
October 22, 2012 in Uncategorized
The idea of a butter bean dip or pate is definitely not my idea as the internet is loaded with recipes. Apart from being very healthy and good for you, butter beans are dirt cheap and so, so versatile. You can opt for the Greek flavors of basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon and chili or you can go the Middle Easter route with cumin, coriander, garlic and paprika. Why don’t you make both versions of this healthy Butter Bean Dip and let me know which one you prefer!
Healthy Butter Bean Dip with Greek Flavors
