Healthy Recipes always promotes beans, and black beans are a favorite .   Beans are nature’s complete food, in that they have protein and carbohydrates in them and are cholesterol free. 

Today, we are making Black Bean Dip.

It is necessary to remember when using beans, always wash and drain them, even if they are canned.  They carry toxins as raw beans that we leave overnight do, but most are gone when in cans, but it is necessary to still wash and drain them.

FOLLOW ME: 

Puree in food processor until mixture is smooth.

Voila - we are done.
