Lime-Spiked Black Bean Dip

Cooking Light, December 2003

I tried two different black bean dip recipes this weekend - a parsley variation and this lime-cilantro variation. This recipe was by far the better of the two.


This dip is so easy and perfect for any casual gathering. It tastes best served at room temperature.

Yield: 5 cups (serving size: 2 tablespoons)
Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preparation
Place beans in a food processor, and pulse until almost smooth. Combine the beans, carrot, and the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring until well blended. Let stand 30 minutes. Serve with baked tortilla chips.
