Monterey Jack and White Bean Dip

SUBMITTED BY: California Milk Advisory Board

"The flavors in this creamy white bean dip come from the Mediterranean, a climate and cuisine similar to California where lemons, oregano and great cheeses are often found together. You can add a drizzle of olive oil for a festive finish."
