You should not only drain the beans well, but should rinse them in a colander until there isn't one bubble left to be seen. Rinsing will accomplish two things: Reducing the excess salt present in most canned foods, and reducing gas-issues that often go along with eating beans. Draining well (almost dry will give you better control over the consistency of the dip. The same goes for salads or other recipes using beans in a recipe.

Regarding adding of the Oil as Sandra did after the initial processing of the items - you might want to add less at that point. Just as you are about to serve the dip, drizzle (drizzle, not POUR! a little Olive Oil over the bean dip. You also might want to sprinkle a little more of whatever seasoning went into the recipe (in this case, Italian Seasoning.

Kelly - one of the problems (beyond not draining the beans with your dip being two watery might come from the yogurt. I always strain the yogurt through a coffee filter in a colander in a bowl (refrigerator overnite. You can also use a Greek Yogurt (thicker already if you can find it.

Way too runny. Maybe I misread the directions, but I had to add 10 crushed saltine crackers to thicken it to a dip consistency. When it came back up to room temperature, it got runny again. I didn't drain the beans, so maybe that was it. The directions were a little unclear.

Easy recipe with wonderful flavor and texture. The only thing I changed was the roasted garlic and the pesto--I mixed those and then spread it on the bread. My entire family loved this recipe.

We love this. I made the recipe with a few minor substitutions - used Bush's Navy beans, and also used dried tomatoe and just added a tad of olive oil. Also roasted my own garlic as I didn't have any jarred. I dry my own tomatoes so that is all I had - very good! My husband says I will have to make it again!

I have made this many many times. It is quick and easy. It never fails to be a hit and you will hardly need to clean the dish when your guests leave it will be wiped clean. No exaggeration!

I've used a similar recipe before so was looking forward to trying this. A waste of ingredients and time.

Love the dip when I make it with olive oil and lemon juice. Made with yogurt it has a funny texture and not enough "oomph" in the taste. Needed a lot more seasoning, too or it's just too bland. I won't make it this way again, sorry.
