easy dip to share? This white bean dip takes extremely little work and is great for a last-minute appetizer or to make in advance to have the job done. Folks at your next cocktail or holiday party will be asking you for the recipe. The roasted garlic takes the most amount of time, but is basically hands-off. Roasting the garlic mellows out its sharpness while still providing a rich flavor to the dip. The dip is great served with pita chips or an array of fresh veggies.
