    This Zingy Black Bean Dip is the perfect appetizer or party food and goes great with chips or as a taco filling! The spice can be catered to your liking!

    Why This Recipe Works

    This tired woman made this yummy dip a few weeks ago when we had some new friends over for dinner (adapted from this recipe from fivehearthome.com). It is quick to make, it has a little zing (that you can cater to your liking), it is a great appetizer and the perfect complement to veggies or chips/crackers.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Black beans – Use the beans and the liquid in the can.

    Garlic – Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.

    Jalapeno peppers – Grab a can of diced green peppers if you prefer.

    Fresh cilantro – This fresh herb brings out the flavor in the beans and spices and helps tame the spice.

    Lime – Freshly squeezed lime juice.

    Balsamic vinaigrette – More flavor!

    Spice mixture – Classic Mexican spices, cumin and oregano.

    How To Make Zingy Black Bean Dip

    Step 1 – Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse/puree until mildly chunky.

    Step 2 – Pour into serving bowl and top with extra cilantro, if desired. Serve with chips or veggies.

    Recipe Notes

    • Can be stored (covered) in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Add a dollop of sour cream to the dip if you find it is spicy.

    We had leftovers and used it as a nacho topping the following day. YUM. It would also be a delicious taco filling or burger topping!

    Enjoy the last morsels of your weekend and have a wonderful week!
