Garnish and Serve
Replace the jalapeño with 1-2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Add a teaspoon of the adobo sauce to the blender for an extra smoky kick.
After blending, transfer the dip to an oven-safe dish. Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, top with another 1/4 cup, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until bubbly.
After blending, fold in 1/2 cup of roasted or grilled corn kernels for added texture and sweetness.
Black beans are a powerhouse of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which help promote satiety, support muscle maintenance, and keep you feeling full and satisfied.
The high fiber content from the beans and vegetables aids in digestion, promotes regular bowel movements, and nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a healthy digestive system.
This dip contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and is rich in soluble fiber from beans, which can help manage cholesterol levels. It's also packed with antioxidants from garlic, onions, and spices.
A single serving of this Black Bean Dip (approximately 1/4 cup) contains around 125-130 calories, making it a relatively light and satisfying snack option.
Yes, this dip is quite healthy. Black beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals. The dip is made with whole food ingredients and healthy fats from olive oil, making it a nutritious choice.
Absolutely! This dip is perfect for making ahead. Its flavors actually meld and deepen overnight. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can serve it cold or gently reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.
To reduce the heat, make sure to remove all seeds and the white membrane from the jalapeño, as that's where most of the capsaicin (heat) is concentrated. For a completely mild version, you can substitute the jalapeño with 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper.
This dip is very versatile! Serve it with pita bread, crackers, or a variety of fresh vegetables for dipping, such as carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and celery sticks. It also works great as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, or quesadillas.
