Fusion Black Bean Dip

Bean dips are such a great alternative to fattier dips and spreads loaded with mayo and sour cream. Not only that, but you're adding some lovely protein and fiber in there as well.

This is a great tasting dip, and the addition of fresh ginger really takes it over the top. Serve with fresh veggies, tortilla chips, or use as a base for a great layered dip. No matter how you eat it, you'll love it!



Fusion Black Bean Dip
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 c cilantro, roughly chopped
2 scallions, diced
1 (29 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c tomatoes, chopped

In a food processor, combine garlic, lime juice, ginger, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, salt, and hot pepper sauce. Process until well combined. Add remaining ingredients, except tomato, and pulse a few times until combined but still chunky. Transfer dip to a bowl and stir in tomato. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
