Black Bean Dip

Very good bean dip. I used 1 jalapeno and the juice of 3 limes; left out the tomato paste, water, onion, and chili's. Everyone liked it.

This dip is delicious. I do recommend 1 small change though. Raw garlic is really strong, so I recommend using either roasted or sauteing it a bit before adding it to the recipe. I'm sure once it spends time in the fridge it will mellow out, but if you're serving it immediately, definitely cook the garlic. I didn't add green onions (don't like) or extra salt (trying to cut back), but that was a personal preference. Thanks for sharing, I'll pass this recipe along to friends.

Great dip, however I did make a few modifications, as it was a little mild for our taste at first. I doubled the amount of lime juice and added a tablespoon of diced jalepeno (had one I needed to use up in the fridge). The extra lime juice really brightened up the flavor, and the jalepeno added a nice zip, but wasn't overpowering. I smeared some of the dip on a couple tortillas with some diced tomatoes, corn, and cheese, and zapped them in the microwave for about a minute. Fantastic lunch!

Yum, my 3 y.o. couldn't get enough of this dip. It's tangy, zippy, zingy, good. I didn't put in any hot pepper or green onions and substituted lemon juice for the lime, but everything else was the same. I liked that it was dairy-free. Great recipe.

Sue, this was wonderful! I was looking for a bean dip like the one they sell at Whole Foods (they market it as low-fat) but other than this one, I was very surprised that all of the recipes I found contained typical dip ingredients like a whole container of cream cheese or like 12 slcies of bacon or 2 cups of cheese. Stuff like that just ends up giving me a belly-ache. I omitted the chiles and subbed the cayenne with chili powder to taste- we are not big on hot foods (read: wimps). I pureed all of the ingredients less 1/2 cup of beans and then added the half-cup and whirred it in the food processor until it was sort of chunky. I think next time I will leave 1 cup out for an even chunkier texture. Also, next time, I am going to add some cilantro. My boyfriend finished this off before the night was over- I served it with Homemade Tortilla Chips (#4378). I am actually getting ready to make soe more right now. This is a really good snack to constantly have on-hand in the fridge: healthy, high-protein, low-fat and absolutely delicious...what more could you ask for???

This is really good. I came across Frito Scoops (not always available in MX) and couldn't find bean dip. This is actually better than the canned dip. Thanks.

This is a great dip... hearty and flavorful. The only alteration I made to the recipe was to use a fresh jalapeno (seeds and membranes removed) in place of the mild chilies and I added a bit of parsley. It was a hit at the Cinqo de Mayo party I brought it to :)

Wow! We threw in a little fresh cilantro at the very end. This was a tasty and quick dinner for us this Lent. We'll be using this recipe again, but taking Beano before!"

Great dip. Needs more heat then the recipe calls for, we didn't add tomato paste, excellent for a freezing vermont evening!

Didn't have any chilis, so I added a bit of salsa. Great football-watching dip!

This is a good dip. We really like bean dip so I wanted to try your recipe and am glad I did. I loved the cumin in this and it was wonderful warm or cold. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice! I had a bunch of beans leftover from a Mexican taco bar yesterday, so I gave this recipe a whirl and glad I did. I actually added about 1/2 cup of salsa at the end in place of the chilies (as there were none in the pantry. . .bummer) which worked fabulously. Also used seasoning salt in place of the regular salt. I am going to serve this at a party tonight. THANKS!

We really enjoyed this. It was a great change from hummus and will be perfect as an appetizer for company. Thanks! The only change I made was to top it with chopped tomatoes that were marinated for 15 minutes in balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and because we were out of fresh chili peppers I added crushed red pepper. This was served with gluten-free crackers and was delicious.

This was the first time I made a bean dip and my husband and I were impressed. This was so good, we'll eat it with anything. I'm trying to think of how to use it up in a tortilla wrap but don't know what else to add. Any ideas? The only change I made was I used 3 tbsp of vegetable broth instead of the water. I seem to always use some sort of broth in recipes that call for water just to enhance the flavour. We like spice so I added a bit more cayenne. It still wasn't enough so next time, I'll add a bit more. This dish will be something I make for company from now on. Thanks for a great recipe.
