Native to Central and South America, they are well known for their texture and their ability to absorb flavors. Rich in fiber, white kidney beans also contain essential nutrients such as minerals, vitamins and proteins. So I thought why not try to make a dip out of them as the White Kidney bean has a similar texture to the Chickpea. Here's what I can up with, and here's what you'll need...

Mix all ingredients in a food processor.
