Whether your putting out a spread or packing lunch, this dairy-free black bean dip is a deliciously, easy, and healthy addition. It’s a twist on classic hummus, using black beans, lime, and a touch of silken tofu. It’s a little softer, creamier, and a touch more flavorful. You can even spice it up, if desired.
Healthy Black Bean Dip that’s a Whiz to Make
This recipe was adapted from The 12 Best Foods Cookbook by Dana Jacobi back in 2006. Today, we’re giving the recipe an update! In her book, she focuses on the following 12 superfoods: broccoli, black beans, tomatoes, salmon, soy, sweet potatoes, oats, onions, blueberries, walnuts, spinach, and chocolate. Not all of her recipes are dairy-free, but many are, or are easily adaptable.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender. In a pinch, you can simply put the ingredients in a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer.
Calcium Tip: Use whole seed tahini. Combined with the black beans and tofu, this recipe provides about 80mg of calcium per serving. And it’s pretty easy to eat more than one serving!
