bean dip

Bean dips and hummus, served with crunchy chips and crackers, are always a welcome appetizer for parties, barbecues, and hangouts in general. Making and serving the dip couldn't be easier; simply whip all the ingredients together in a food processor for a few minutes, scoop the purée into a bowl, and watch as hungry wolves devour it in roughly the same amount of time it took to make. Chickpeas aren't the only bean you can use in bean dips. Here are six dips with beans like edamame, black beans, and cannellini beans worthy of trying out at your next group gathering.

Red Pepper and White Bean Dip	Spinach and Cannellini Bean Dip	Black Bean Dip

Hummus has always been a staple snack for all my parties, but since it's so popular, it can get boring. Here's a twist on that basic recipe. You'll find this version is slightly creamier since it's made with Greek yogurt, and the dill gives it a fresh, zippy flavor. If you have time, whip up this dip, and refrigerate it overnight — it tastes much better the next day.
