This flavorful, 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 flavors. Then the warm spice mix enlivens the flavors in this chunky dip, which is delicious served with raw vegetables in place of pita chips, if you prefer. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
