We are all about easy flavorful recipes on our homestead- and this kidney bean dip is a fantastic way to get some major flavor onto your plate. I whipped this up for a quick snack with chips one day, then added a big scoop of leftovers to burrito bowls, loaded with my favorite homemade guacamole and yellow rice.
I used canned beans for this recipe, however you can use homemade beans if you make them from dried kidney beans. I always use a low sodium or no-salt-added beans to reduce the amount of salt in my recipes. The result is a perfectly salted and spiced dip you’ll love!

- Onion, Jalapeno, Cilantro
- Kidney Beans: Like tomatoes, I only use no salt or low sodium beans in my pantry.
- Cumin: also adds a really nice flavor to this recipe – cumin has a lightly smokey flavor found in a lot of chili recipes.
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this dip – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
