New England Style Bean Dip

I have to thank my Massachusetts friend, Donna, for introducing me to this fantastic appetizer. To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first. While I love a good bean dip, all that I had tried in the past use beans that are blended up with other ingredients. This particular dip keeps the beans intact for a unique texture and flavor.

Donna was incredibly gracious in allowing me to share this recipe with you, and I truly hope that it also becomes a favorite in your home.

You’re definitely going to love that this kidney bean dip is super easy to make. Simply mix all the ingredients together, and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
