Notes

Feel free to change up the beans used and add extra veggies like cucumber or bell peppers if you have them on hand. This dip is always a hit at parties!
I usually buy the Wish Bone Italian Dressing. If you feel like using the entire bottle is too much dressing for your preference, start with 1 cup. Taste, and add more as desired. One bottle (15 fluid oz.) is about 1 3/4 cups of dressing.
