White Bean and Roasted Pepper Dip

Besides being tasty, this dip looks great! The contrast of the red pepper on the white base makes this an attractive dish to both of the senses: sight and taste. The reason for making this a 12 serving recipe is because the beans come in a 15 ounce sized can; if it's too much you can freeze some or just make less. Serve this condiment with crackers, potato chips, toast, or your choice of bread.
