Living the Gourmet: Cilantro and White Bean Dip

Last week seemed like a dream in comparison to this week.

I was outside sitting in the sun, starting up my flower beds. It seemed as if Spring was finally in the air and what a wonderful feeling it gave me after such a long winter.

Now, the cold is back and it seems that Spring may still be a little ways off.

I decided to keep the menu fresh, still holding on to that bit of Spring.

What I love the post about my Cilantro and White Bean Dip is how it pairs perfectly well with pork chops, chicken, vegetable slices, whatever your imagination can think of.

Honestly though, it’s best on its own, with warmed slices of pita that I heated on the griddle with just a sprinkle of cheese.

The warm spices and honey melds perfectly together with the creaminess of the blended white beans, roasted peppers and fresh cilantro.

We thought we had made it to Spring around here too, but Mother Nature had different ideas for sure. SNOW! I love cilantro so this is a dip I'll add to my recipe box for sure!!! Have a beautiful day!

  8. You sound like you are having weather like us! Are you on the east coast? I planted some veggies in my garden thinking the cold was gone for good! Now I'm just crossing my fingers they don't freeze and die. Those peppers look so yummy just on their own, I can't wait to try this combo of flavors!
