I already have this recipe and I absolutely love it. I sometimes make it with a salad for a light dinner. In the version of the recipe I have a couple of things area different. The garlic is roasted before it is put into the food processor with all the other ingredients and it does not call for any parsley. I love the taste of rosemary so much I don't like to cover it up. I have even used dried rosemary instead of fresh and it is still good. I serve it with pita chips. I might try it with some of the optional ingredients.

I made this as a midday snack to take to work. High in protein and fiber, it's the perfect pick me up. I made mine with the sundried tomatoes which were a welcome addition to the dip. I made a half batch using just 1 tablespoon of oil (half the amount stated) and the dip was full of wonderful Tuscan flavors. My one mistake was to toss in a clove of garlic that was a bit more than the amount stated, so mine was a bit too strong sort of competing and complementing the rosemary and parsley. Will be more careful next time. I'm looking forward to making this into a wrap with some spinach and roasted peppers — yummy. Thanks Rita for what is likely to become a staple for me.

I just made this for a New Years party I'm going to tomorrow night. I made it without any of the additions, and it tastes great! I'm leaving it in the fridge overnight for the flavors to develop, but it tastes fantastic based on the leftovers from my blender! Great recipe!

I made this at Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Its basically hummus, but its cheaper and you can make so many different flavors! I have many vegan/vegetarian family members and friends and this was great treat for them to munch on.

Excellent. I made a lot of changes, as listed below... kidney beans instead of cannelini beans 2 teaspoons olive oil no lemon zest 2 teaspoons dried rosemary 1 teaspoon dried parsley still tasted great I made those changes base on what I had and to make it healthier

I made this last night and served it with crackers and pita chips. I halved the recipe and added kalamata olives as my optional add-in. We liked this a lot but found it a bit bland. I think I'll spice it up a little when I make it next time. Mods - Instead of garlic cloves I added a whole head of roasted garlic. Instead of mixing in sliced olives, I blended it along with everything else. Thanks for posting the recipe!
