I just found this recipe on the foodtv.net/ Giada De Laurentiis...It was so delicious and very healthy.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (6-ounce) bags baby spinach
1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 of the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Repeat with the remaining spinach. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Place the remaining olive oil, spinach mixture, cannelloni beans, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor.

Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Serve with endive spears, crostini or pita chips.

Sounds yummy...mummy Big Grin

Here's another dip used w/ fruit, that's not so healthy but REALLY GOOD and easy.

Marshmellow cream and softened cream cheese
-equal amounts

dip with apples, grapes, bananas, strawberries, pineapple

kids love it and it helps to get the fruit down!
