creamy white dip. with a little cucumber salsa.

We live by this creamy white bean dip. Since I make at least one batch a week, and I take it get-togethers, I have been thinking of fun new ways to add different flavors & textures. Here, I have kept with Mediterranean flavors to make a pretty awesome spread. You can serve it with the pita chips from the dip post, or here I am serving it with whole grain chips. I am really into Food Should Taste Good Multi-Grain Chips--these have a great texture & it just depends if you want to keep gluten-free or not.

We just eat this for lunch, add a few sliced veggies to the picture, but this is perfect for an appetizer too. It is healthy, full of good protein, gluten-free, vegan, & addicting.
