I LOVE bean dip. I remember eating the canned stuff all the time growing up. I later learned that when you make it yourself, it’s not only healthier, but cheaper too! You won’t believe how easy and fast it is to make your own.

What I Like About This Recipe:

• Fast and easy

• Great flavor

• A nice change from regular hummus

• Goes great with Mexican dishes

Ingredients:

• Two 15-oz cans (or 4 cups) of black beans, rinsed and drained. Look for a low-sodium variety. You can also cook dry black beans in water, which is cheaper and healthier, but this would take much longer than "one minute."

• One cup of your favorite salsa. (Again, try to find one that isn't too high in sodium.)

  
  

Steps:

1. Dump the beans and salsa into a blender or food processor. 

2. Blend.

3. Enjoy!

It doesn't get much easier than that, does it?! :)
