Make this quick, creamy black bean dip in just five minutes. It is vegan, healthy, and perfect as a party appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1–3 tablespoons water (for thinning, optional)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed and drained black beans, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
  2. Process the ingredients until the mixture is mostly smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. If you prefer a thinner dip, add water one tablespoon at a time while processing until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
  4. Taste the dip and adjust salt, lime juice, or cayenne pepper if you want more spice.
  5. Transfer the black bean dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For an even creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil during processing.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use a blender, but you may need to add slightly more liquid.
  • This dip is best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
