Black Bean Spread / Dip With Lime and Cilantro
"I make this frequently in the summertime. I make a fresh salsa in my food processor, give it a quick rinse and whip this up right after. The two dips are great together and make easy work for a bbq. I use this with everything from my Southwest Turkey Burgers (recipe posted) to a spread on tortillas with eggs in the morning. I just love that it's virtually fat-free but tastes great."

This dip is heavenly. I added some sour cream to decrease the heat of the garlic and I cut out the lime juice. So creamy! -
I was just about to post this from an old issue of Cooking Light, thanks for saving me the time! -
This is very good. I ma a black bean lover and would eat near ANYTHING with black beans in it! I had it on toast for breakfast this morning, after serving it as a dip last night! Next time I think I will use half the lime juice though, as I would rather taste the beans than have the lime overpower.

After growing up in central Wisconsin, I moved to California and spent my 20's and part of my 30's there. I've since moved to the east coast to a small village in Northern Virginia - a huge change! We moved here mainly so we could live in an area better suited to raising children and closer to family. Although it's an adjustment, we really love it here. My husband and I were married in Feb 2003 and had our first daughter, Kylie, in Aug 2004. Our second daughter, Katie, was just born in July 2006. I was an HR Director until I became Mom, and I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world!
I began cooking when I became a stay-at-home-mom, mostly out of necessity. We used to eat out for every meal...and I do mean EVERY meal. When our income was cut in half after my "early retirement", eating out was no longer an option. Therefore, if I was going to continue to eat all the delicious food I was accustomed to, I was going to have to...oh, the horror!!!...COOK IT MYSELF!!! I had grown up baking with my mom, but hadn't actually baked in years and had always left the cooking to her. To my utter surprise and delight (not to mention my husband's SHOCK and delight)...I loved it! Then, to find Recipezaar...well, it's become a much loved hobby and something I'll surely do for the rest of my life!
