Black Bean Dip

Recipe by: dramstad

Reviews(3)

A dip low in fat and calories, but with loads of flavour. Let the dip chill so the consistency thickens and the beans have time to meld with the spices. If you can't find tinned black beans, use dried or a tin of refried beans instead.

Recipe by: KellyCo

Be the first to review it!

I made this as an alternative to tomato sauce for a pizza topping, but I think it was even better the next day as a dip. The amount of ingredients I used only makes about 250ml, so you may want to double or triple the amounts if making for a party.

Easy Low Fat Houmous

Recipe by: ELOVINGS

Reviews(6)

I make this houmous all the time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and it's healthier than shop-bought without the oil. Increase or decrease the ingredients as desired, especially the chillies! Serve with tortilla crisps, pitta triangles or fresh vegetables. Add more of the reserved chickpea liquid for a smoother dip.
