If you have ever gone to a restaurant in Saugus, MA. You will so recognize it. It’s from my favorite restaurant growing up, The Continental. It’s so my favorite my parents had my baby shower there.
If you say, oh, I had bean dips, this is so not the one, you can’t even taste the beans in them.
Here is my version of it, since it’s such a long drive, for a dip, although, I think my kids would love to eat there.
They literally walk around and serve appetizers, while you wait for your food. What’s better?

I grew up in Melrose! I loved this dip back in the day. So much has changed on Rt. 1 but the Continental is still there. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You can buy this at the Epicurean shop at the century house restaurant!
I remember living this dip when my family had dinners at The Marguery in Ipswich. Don’t let looks fool you. It was addictive. Thanks for the recipe. I’m ready for a little nostalgia.
Honestly one of my best things, about going to the Continental, I loved it so much. Thank you for reading, Laurie (Mass Gal)
