This was our Super Bowl dip instead of the Mexican seven layer dip. Ooops, my dip only has six layers... —nannydeb

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 15 ounce can cannellini beans
  • 1 clove garlic

  3. Pour the pureed beans onto a deep serving plate.
  4. Top the beans with the basil oil (swirling it in), roasted tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and parmesan.
  5. Serve with toasted baguette slices.
