A Black Bean Dip that is creamy, smooth, light, & filled with flavor.

I am so excited about today’s Black Bean Dip recipe! I must admit I photographed this Mexican dip January of last year, & I had originally saved it to share when we moved last summer because I knew I would be so busy with our move, buying our first house, & renovating it that I wouldn’t have time to create a lot of new recipes & blog content this summer, last summer. But you know, life happens & somehow I never shared this recipe.

Fast forward to last week, I was testing recipes that all miserably failed, & I was trying to figure out what to do next. Well, one of them didn’t actually fail, I somehow managed to create muffins that taste just like a popular marshmallow cereal, but it was a funny color & would not have photographed well. So that was that.

Then for some reason, I remembered this almost forgotten recipe for Black Bean Dip.

Since it had been awhile I decided to make it again this weekend ( I shared a picture on Instagram Stories) & it was just as delicious as I had remembered. Roger & I enjoyed this Black Bean Dip with vegetable fajitas, chips, & salsa. Light, delicious, & filling!

And next time our family has a little gathering I’m going to be bringing a triple batch of this black bean party dip!

But back to the recipe!

I feel so bad for keeping this recipe locked up all these months, especially when it is so ridiculously good & easy to make!

When I first expressed my excitement about this Black Bean Dip to Roger (over a year ago) he wasn’t too thrilled. I mean the name isn’t super enticing to someone who loves Macaroni & Cheese Soup, but let’s just say he had a big change of heart after his first bite.

I should also admit that I ate about half of this by myself in one sitting the first time I created it.

And while I love to enjoy this by myself & with Roger, this Black Bean Dip recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled for a fun fiesta with friends & family.

You won’t have any leftovers, but you will have everyone asking for your recipe!

It really is that good!

It’s creamy, smooth, & light, yet flavorful, filling, & incredibly easy to make. Plus it’s super quick to make & can easily be a make ahead dish. You could blend it all up the night before a party, store it in your fridge, & then right before your party just pop it in the oven for a yummy appetizer or vegetarian side dish!
