This recipe for white bean dip is easy to make, as well as light on the waistline.  The recipe has a Mediterranean flavor that is seasoned with fresh Meyer lemons, rosemary, and early spring green garlic.

The third appetizer we will be serving during our Super Bowl Healthy Eating Series is this yummy white bean dip.  I like to serve it with an assortment of fresh vegetables as well as toasted baguette;  but, to keep it healthy and in check with our Ten in 10 Healthy Challenge, I am serving it with some organic baby carrots I picked up from Happy Boy Farms.  Whatever you decide to serve it with, it will be a crowd pleaser at your Super Bowl party.
