black bean dip

Bored of the usual "salsa with sour cream" or "woot, let's spice it up and add some guacamole"?

Yeah? Then try this out!

Goes great with fresh or (oven toasted) pita triangles and even tortillas. What I really like about it is that it's very healthy without tasting healthy, unless you just don't like beans. It's got a great fiber count because of the beans and we all know that fiber is a good thing to have in a diet, right?

No? Well, if you are rocking back and forth on the porcelain throne, then you need to be putting away the salsa and scooping up the black bean dip. Just think of how all the friends that you called over to watch sports or some movie will be that thanking you for adding some fiber to the diet.

tee hee!
