Black Bean Dip (Vegan and Gluten Free)

This black bean dip can be made in under 5 minutes! It tastes rich and creamy but is actually a very healthy snack. Serve it with tortilla chips as an easy appetizer, perfect for parties, game day or Cinco De Mayo.

So let’s be honest this black bean dip isn’t the most attractive of dips! But what it lacks in appearance it make up for in taste! The beans give it a creamy texture, but this black bean dip is super healthy, plus it is vegan and gluten free.

To get the wonderful creamy texture you will need a food processor. Add the beans, the roots of some fresh coriander, a splash of water from the bean cans, a few Mexican spices and give it all a good whizz up.

To give this black bean dip a little more visual appeal I like to drizzle it with oil just before I serve it. It adds a lovely sheen to the dip (Olive oil or avocado oil are good options).

I served this black bean dip up as part of a dips for lunch theme. There was black bean dip, prepare ahead guacamole, pico de gallo, a sweet potato dip and a pot of sour cream with chives. All with blue corn chips, white corn chips and soft flour tortillas (my personal fav!)

Really it was the perfect Cinco de Mayo platter. Or a wonderful way to snack and enjoy the game with friends.

Plus being healthy that means there is definitely space for some churros and mexican hot chocolate!!!
