Why I love this dip: I am a dipper! I love dips, dressings, sauces. And I love healthy food. Often dips, dressings and sauces are not healthy, but fat-laden and full of empty calories so it’s a battle between healthy and tasty. Not so with this legume based dip, it is a nutritional superstar and so yummy! Instead of mayonnaise, sour cream or other unhealthy condiments, this dip uses fiber-filled and protein-packed great northern beans as its base. With a fairly neutral flavor profile, they are an excellent elemental ingredient upon which to add in flavor. Fresh dill announces itself prominently with paprika, onion, and chipotle pepper adding a hint of flavor and lots of depth.

Tangy and creamy, try it on:

Italian Herb Mini Hasselback Potatoes
Zucchini and Cornmeal Fritters
fresh vegetables
baked potatoes
as a spread on a sandwich

Or add a bit of extra milk and use it as a dressing to replace traditional Ranch.
