You can use white beans (cannellini beans, great northern white beans, navy beans), pinto beans or kidney beans in place of the black beans to make this healthy bean dip. You could also use cooked green or brown lentils. Using chickpeas will create a texture will be slightly different than using black bean, so they would not be my first choice. Red lentils are too mushy so I do not recommend using those to make this vegan bean dip.
