    Healthy Black Bean Dip

    This black bean dip is deliciously healthy and simple. Plus, every serving has 10g of protein, and is less than 150 calories! #Healthy #Recipe

    Um, so, yeah, I have a confession. I actually prefer black bean dip over salsa when it comes to dipping my chips.

    Is that weird?

    Don't get me wrong, I do love my salsa, but that love affair is on like eggs, and as a condiment for ground turkey, and as a partner in crime with tacos.

    So, obviously I was excited about making this dip for you guys (I mean for myself too of course). This black bean dip has this great bean-y, garlic-y, cumin-y flavor profile that I'm just crazy about. However, if you're not a huge fan of garlic and/or cumin, I'd probably go a little lighter on these two ingredients with this one.

    I was also a bit more excited than usual for this recipe, because I even got to bust out my new Black and Decker food processor for it. If you don't have a food processor, or you need a new one, this one is only $30 and I highly recommend it.
