Dr. Wild's Bean Dip with Horseradish
Thursday June 03, 2010 A delicious recipe to help you eat and feel healthy - direct to you from Dr. Weil's Optimum Health Plan. Bean Dip with Horseradish 8 Servings Beans are wonderful food - no two ways about it. They are loaded with protein, fiber, potassium, magnesium and folic acid. They have a very beneficial effect on blood sugar and they taste great. There are many ways to use beans - from chili to soup to tasty dips scooped up with raw vegetables, whole-grain crackers or pita triangles. Beans are also one of the foods that work well from a can, saving the time and effort of presoaking. Lower-sodium versions are also available. For those of you who enjoy the aroma of a big pot of beans simmering on the stove, however, keep cooking from scratch! Ingredients: 2 cups cooked beans (cannellini, pinto or Great Northern) 2 tablespoons quality extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish 2 scallions, trimmed and minced Salt to taste Instructions: Combine beans, olive oil, horseradish and scallions in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary. Season with salt to taste.
