Bodacious Black Bean Dip
Great recipes often come from friends, and should be shared with other friends. Last night, I was invited to a "kick-off the barbeque season" party and brought Jana's Bodacious Black Bean Dip. This is a great recipe because you can adjust the ingredients to taste and modify the consistency to please your own palate.
2 Cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
1/2 to 3/4 c. crumbled feta
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. salsa
juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup cilantro leaves
salt to taste
In a food processor, mince garlic. Add black beans, salsa and lemon juice. Puree until almost smooth but still a bit lumpy. Remove from processor. Add feta and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
Typically, it takes about a large bag and a half of tortilla chips to eat all the bean dip this recipe makes. So if you're planning on taking it to a party, bring lots of chips. Bodacious black bean dip is also good to use for making Huevos Rancheros. However, I've never had leftovers!
