Tomato-Ranch Bean Dip

Place tomatoes in a small bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drain and finely chop the tomatoes; set aside.

In a food processor, combine beans, salad dressing, garlic and chipotle pepper (if using). (see Tip) Cover and process until smooth. Add milk, if needed, to thin to desired consistency. Set aside 1 teaspoon of the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of the parsley. Stir the remaining tomatoes and the remaining parsley into bean mixture.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the reserved tomatoes and parsley. Serve with vegetable dippers.
