Picnic Beans with Dip image

Here's a fun way to enjoy fresh-picked beans...with a creamy well-seasoned dip. I first enjoyed it at a friend's house and have made it for several years. Try the dip with other vegetables, too, such as broccoli, celery and carrots. -Martha Bergman, Cleveland Heights, Ohio

These beans were a total flop. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out mushy and flavorless.
