Black Bean Dip is an easy thing you can throw together any time you are hosting. If you’re anything like us, you always have plenty of cans of black beans available. If you don’t usually, then what are you waiting for?
Black beans are such a great thing to have in your pantry. They have a long shelf life and they are very versatile and can be used for so many different things. You can use them to make traditional Black Beans, throw in a salad, OUR Black Bean Chili, taco night and of course this delightful quick little dip we have for you today.
The truth of the matter is, everyone loves a good dip. When you go to a party, you can’t help but peruse the snack table, and get a little overly excited about a new dip you have never tried. This could be that dip for you to pleasantly surprise your guests with. The best part, it’s just so easy to do.
This Black Bean Dip just needs black beans, lime, orange, garlic and a few other ingredients. Try this one out next time you are hosting! Serve it up with some mariquitas or chopped vegetables and you’re good to go.
