Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans, 1/4 cup of salsa, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt to taste, and chopped cilantro for garnish.
- Open the can of black beans and pour it into a colander. Rinse the beans under cold running water to remove any excess sodium and canning liquid. Allow them to drain well.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, salsa, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the beans to your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth, depending on your preference.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if needed. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the black bean dip to a serving bowl. Garnish the top with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch and added flavor.
- Serve the black bean dip immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy your delicious vegan dip!
Tips
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper for an extra kick if you like your dip spicy!
- Customize Your Consistency: Adjust the texture of your dip by mashing the black beans to your liking—chunky for a rustic feel or smooth for a creamier dip.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter flavor. The fresher the ingredients, the better the dip!
- Chill Before Serving: For an even more refreshing taste, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Garnish Creatively: Besides cilantro, try adding diced tomatoes, avocado, or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for added flavor and nutrition.
- Make It a Meal: Transform this dip into a meal by spreading it on a tortilla and adding your favorite veggies, then rolling it up for a delicious wrap!
