I used black beans in this recipe because I love their taste and nutritional profile—lots of antioxidants. Because the beans are pureed, you don’t get too much bang for your buck.

Do a FASS check and add a spritz of lemon and an additional pinch of salt if needed. Serve garnished with the cilantro.

If you really want to put this dip over the top, place a dollop of Avocado Cream (page 178) on top, or for a quick fix, a few slices of avocado will do.
