black bean dip recipe easy
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, Dairy-Free
Description
This easy black bean dip is a creamy, vibrant, and healthy recipe perfect for quick weeknight meals, gatherings, or a family snack. It’s a foolproof classic made with pantry staples and fresh ingredients for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained thoroughly
- 1 cup salsa (mild or medium)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or fresh parsley)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep The Beans: Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly under cold water until the liquid runs clear, removing excess sodium and starch.
- Mash Beans: In a medium bowl, mash the beans until mostly smooth but with some delightful texture. (For a faster, smoother dip, transfer prepped beans and all other ingredients into a food processor and process until creamy, scraping down sides as needed.)
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in salsa, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and the spices’ aroma emerges.
- Finish And Serve: Gently fold in chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings; an extra squeeze of lime can enhance the flavor before serving with dippers.
Notes
To elevate, use organic, low-sodium black beans and low-sodium salsa. Always prefer fresh-squeezed lime juice. Enhance texture and visual appeal with chopped bell peppers, corn kernels, ripe avocado, or diced red onion. For a lighter dip, skip any additional oil. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. For kid-friendly, keep spices mild and serve with crunchy veggie sticks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
