Feelin' dippy...White Bean and Red Pepper Dip

Beans and red peppers - two of my favorite things. So, I expected to like this recipe. And let me say - I didn't hate it, exactly. But there was just too much lemon juice in it. And it made a little too much for just one person. On the bright side - I did get to eat more of the yummy wheat pitas. So - to damn with faint praise - I didn't want it immediately in the trash, but it doesn't work well as a repeat, so it's not for me.
