Smoky Kidney Bean Dip
This vibrant dip doesn’t hold back on flavor! Hearty kidney beans are blended with roasted red peppers, punchy sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and smoked paprika to make a seriously flavorful dip with a satisfyingly smooth texture. It takes just minutes to prepare and uses mostly pantry ingredients—a perfect addition to a sharing board or lunch table. I always like having it in the fridge to snack on or spread on toast.
