No-Cook Black Bean Dip

Recipe contributed by FabFoodFinds
Makes 1 bowl of dip

You'll Need

1 can (540 mL/19 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed
¼ cup (60 mL) mild salsa
¼ medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, diced
2 tbsp (30 mL) lower-sodium tomato juice
½ tsp (2 mL) cumin
¼ tsp (1 mL) ground coriander (optional)

Prep and Cook

Set aside 1 cup (250 mL) of black beans.
Blend remaining beans and all other ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Pour into serving bowl.
Mix in remaining black beans and serve with baked whole wheat tortilla wedges, steamed carrots and cauliflower.

Good to know: Make the dip citrusy by adding 1–2 tbsp (15–30 mL) lime juice. For kids who aren’t fans of chunky-mixed foods, blend up all the beans for a smooth bean dip.
