White Bean and Red Pepper Spread

dicentra's Note:

This is really yummy and takes ZERO time to make. These are ingredients I usually have in the house anyway, so it is convenient too. I’ve used it as a dip, served it with pitas, cucumbers and sprouts and made tortilla wraps with it. Makes about 2 cups.

This recipe is very simple to prepare and I usually have all the ingredients on hand, however I think something is missing. I may doctor it up like luvmybge, but will do something as I thought that the recipe was bland the way it is written.***Updated 2/2/09 - I did add some cumin and the recipe is much improved by that simple ingredient.

This recipe had everyone raving! Simple but pretty unique, travels well, good on just about anything...The only problem is that I've had to make 4 or 5 batches at a time because it goes quick!
