    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.

    Substitutions

    • Beans - Try different types of beans in this dip (garbanzo beans, white beans, blackeyed peas, etc.)

    Variations

    • Add-ins - Add some spices, like a little cayenne or chipotle if you like the heat. You could also try different fruits, like grilled pineapple, peaches, or mango.
    • Other uses - So many! Add it to some vegetarian quesadillas, toss it on top of your nachos, add a scoop to your avocado toast, or put a spoonful or two in an omelet.

    Equipment

    • Knife
    • Cutting board
    • Colander
    • Citrus squeezer
    • Mixing bowls

    Storage

    Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

    This dish is not freezer friendly.

    Top Tips

    If adding avocado, only serve what you will be able to eat right away. Save the remaining dip without avocado. It makes a great meal prep!

    This dip has more flavor when refrigerated overnight.

    FAQ

    Why should I use Roma tomatoes for this dip?

    Roma tomatoes are not as juicy. They are firm in texture and will add fresh tomato flavor without diluting your dip.

    Should tomatoes be refrigerated?

    Refrigerating tomatoes will extend their shelf life, but could also decrease their flavor or change their texture. If you don't want your tomatoes to go bad, wait until they are fully ripe, refrigerate for a few days, then bring them back to room temperature before slicing.

    Does cilantro taste like soap?

    Believe it or not - yes, but only to some people. The issue comes down to genetics. If this is true for you, try cooking it before eating it. You could also try mincing it or mashing it in a mortar and pestle to release some of the soapy enzymes.
