My "the Marguerie" Bean Dip for Dad

The Marguerie was an upscale restaurant in Ipswich Massachussettes and was done in a beautiful big Victorian age house. I first went there at age 8 and before seated, guests sat in a cozy area where this bean dip and crackers were provided. It burned down when I was a child. Years later in my 20s when I had left home he asked me one holiday if I had a recipe or could find one for this dip. No was the answer. So I set to work re-creating the taste I remembered as a child. Dad adored it, so did we all. I had hit it perfectly and now it just isn't Christmas without this dip. You can scale this recipe down though it is an excellent keeper in the fridge. This is a zippy though not hot dip, dad doesn't "do hot." You can certainly play with the amounts to suit you. I thought this would be far too "mayonnaisey" and it isn't. Enjoy and here is to you dad!
