Looking for a simple, delicious, and nutritious way to enjoy all that glorious summer produce? Serve it with this Olive Bean Dip, which only takes a few minutes to make! You can really use any bean you would like for this dip - we've tried it with Colorado pinto beans, Mayocoba beans (aka yellow beans), great northern beans, and more, and it's always a winner. 🏆

Find the recipe on Food Smart (link in bio) and let us know in the comments which bean you use!
