Black Bean Dip with Veggies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups black beans, cooked or canned
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin, powdered
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes|red pepper, powdered (optional)

Directions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and run at "high" until smooth.
  2. It may be necessary to stop the blender from time to time, and mix the ingredients with a spoon or spatula to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly and uniformly mixed. (The amount of seasoning is often subjective; so, we suggest you taste a little and add additional seasoning if necessary) when finished, scoop out the bean dip into a bowl and place it in the center of a large platter.
  3. Cut the veggies into 2" lengths and split as necessary to keep bite sized.
  4. We suggest broccoli florets, carrots, cauliflower florets, celery, cucumbers, green and red bell peppers, scallions, etc.
  5. Arrange the veggies around the dip on the platter in two piles for each variety of veggie, so that they are opposite each other.
  6. This way everyone sitting around the table can reach some of each.
  7. Enjoy!.
