Spinach Dip

Spinach Dip
I love, love spinach dip but the traditional spinach dip is loaded with cheese and heavy cream.  This recipe still has great flavor and also a healthier choice.
Spinach Dip

15 oz. can of Cannellini Beans

Juice from one lemon (about 3 tablespoons)

Tablespoon of minced garlic

2 tablespoons of hot sauce

½ teaspoon of salt

½ teaspoon of pepper

2 tablespoons of olive oil

¼ cup of parmesan cheese (optional for topping you can leave it out and have this dish dairy free)

5 whole wheat shells


Pre heat oven to 400 degrees

Cut shells into chip size (using pizza cutter) take 1 tablespoon of olive oil and coat chip with oil. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes (flipping after 7 minutes).
