Ooooh….let me tell you, this Sausage, Spinach and White Bean Dip is so good!   These flavors go together perfectly.  If you like it even hotter, add some red pepper flakes.  This has enough kick to make it zesty, but not so much that it hurts.   Serve with pita chips or toasted bread slices.   A great dip for a party!!  130% Loon Approved!

Other great appetizers to try are our: Amazing Shrimp Balls, Texas Caviar, Black Pepper and Maple Popcorn, Popcorn with Garlic and Thyme!
