Ingredients For white bean and roasted garlic dip
The ingredients for this dip are humble and easy to find in all seasons. If cannelloni beans are unavailable, use butterbeans or white Northerns. But in a line-up I would choose cannellini's every time. Mint is a perfect compliment to the mellow roasted garlic and lemony flavors but you can use parsley if you prefer.
