INGREDIENTS
- Black beans - Canned black beans (drained) work just fine.
- Corn - I keep frozen corn on hand ALWAYS just for this dip!
- Green bell pepper - Fresh, medium-sized
- Tomato - Roma tomatoes work best in this dip
- Green onion - Did you know you can grow these in your kitchen? Stick the leftovers in a mason jar with a little water next to your kitchen window.
- Lime - I only recommend fresh limes for this recipe.
- Cilantro - Fresh cilantro is best!
- Avocado - I prefer the Haas variety. Make sure it is ripe (soft to the touch and dark brown in color)
- Salt
- Pepper
Note: Refer to the recipe card below for exact quantities.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step One: Rinse and Drain
Open both cans of beans and measure out 1 ½ cups of frozen corn. Rinse beans and corn in a colander, then set them aside to drain.
Step Two: Prepare Vegetables
Wash all produce. Dice tomatoes, green bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro and add them to a bowl. Squeeze lime juice on top and add salt and pepper.
Step Three: Mix and Chill
Add beans and corn to the mix and give it a good stir. Add extra virgin olive oil and stir again. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better).
Step Four: Serve
To serve, scoop out a generous portion and add freshly sliced avocado. This dip is best served with tortilla chips.
