In a food processor, put one can of Great Northern White beans-undrained, 2 tablespoons olive oil and one clove garlic. Sprinkle with black pepper and process until the dip is smooth and creamy. The Ranch dressing in my fridge has 140 calories for 2 tablespoons. That's 840 calories for 1 1/2 cups! Then I added up the calories for the 1 and 1/2 cups of dip with olive oil and the count is 480 calories. The Ranch bean dip has 1/2 the calories. And look at all the nutrients in the beans-very healthy.
Make that super smooth and creamy. It almost looks like cream gravy.
Tonight, I'm pairing the dip with raw baby carrots, celery sticks, and chunks of red bell pepper.
These will go very nicely with my oven fried chicken.

Tasty AND healthy! This is actually my idea of a meal, but some people think meat and potatoes are a necessity...go figure! ( ha ha)
Thank-you for the twist on a healthy dip. ( kind of sounds like a dance)
