This flavourful, hummus-like dip relies on navy beans rather than chickpeas. Navy beans, also known as haricot beans, are a terrific source of fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Don't skip heating the spices; the heat brings out their pungent flavours. Then the warm spice mix enlivens the flavours in this chunky dip, which is delicious served with raw vegetables in place of pita chips, if you prefer.
