Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned low-sodium black beans
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 3 slices jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt and preservatives.
In a food processor or blender, add the black beans, lime juice, Greek yogurt, ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the dip seems too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon of water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a pinch more salt, cumin, or lime juice to enhance the flavor as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For optional garnishes, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and add a few thin slices of jalapeño on top.
Serve immediately with vegetable sticks, tortilla chips, or whole-grain crackers. Enjoy!
