This was good, but I felt like it need more flavor to be a dip. Maybe more lemon and some chili powder. I love that it was a cinch to whip up and was pretty much guilt free snacking. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Delicious and full of flavor. A big hit with the crowd! I added just a dash of balsamic vinegar.

My only criticism is that I didn't like how the tomato paste turns the dip pink... a little unappetizing. But the flavor is good (with some salt!). I opted for cannelini beans... don't know what barlotti are... maybe British?

This tastes like refried beans to me. The ingredient list does not say what size can of white beans to use and I had a 15 oz can of navy beans or a 19 oz can of cannelini beans. I opted for the navy beans and thought it was a pretty good choice. I had some with homemade tortilla chips tonight and plan to take the rest to work for lunch tomorrow with lots of veggies.

Wow! This a flavourful and easy to make dip. Had it for lunch with vegies and baked pita chips. Who needs fat?
