Notes

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: This is a great prep-ahead dip which makes it perfect for meal prep and entertaining. You can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

INGREDIENT NOTES: You can use cannellini beans or butter beans. Sometimes I like to add some chili flakes to spice it up a bit, so play around with your flavors if you like!
