The Best Bean Dip Ever

The Best Bean Dip Ever

I know that’s a pretty bold recipe title, but it’s ACTUALLY true. Do you know why it’s true? Because the toddlers and little people (nieces and nephews) tell me so. And my adult friends and family members have snagged this recipe from me, all of whom are brutally honest.

There are also a whole host of OTHER reasons why I love this bean dip…salad…dip? Here’s the scoop:

  1. It’s not just straight up BEANS - there are loads of veggies incorporated into the dip, making it super fresh tasting.

  2. It keeps well for a solid 4 days.

  3. It tastes great on it’s own, with chips or crackers.

  4. It requires NO COOKING which is a huge selling point for me.

  5. You can totally adapt it as you wish, buttttt try my version out!

And the moment you’ve been waiting for, recipe below!
