    I absolutely love veggie dips (especially this dill pickle hummus). Chickpea hummus and ranch are classic, tasty options, but this black bean dip is also a fantastic choice!

    It is:

    Easy to make

    Healthy

    Whole food plant-based

    Oil-free

    I always prefer to make my own dips so I can ensure that they are made of whole food ingredients and are oil-free. I’ve yet to find a good oil-free dip at the store!

    Ingredients for this black bean dip

    Canned black beans

    Water

    Tahini

    Lime juice

    Cumin

    Garlic powder

    Chili powder

    Scallions

    Making this black bean dip

    Making this dip is so easy!

    Start by draining the can of beans and adding the beans to a food processor.

    Next, simply add all of the other ingredients to the food processor and blend until combined.

    I like this black bean hummus dip to be quite thick, but if you want it to be a bit thinner, just add some more water.

    I also like to add some more scallions on top of this dip.

    Health benefits of black beans

    Beans are healthy in general, and they are often a large part of a plant-based diet. I eat beans or other legumes every single day. At this point I can’t imagine what I’d eat without them!

    Black beans, like most beans, are low in fat and high in protein. They are also high in fiber and are very satiating.

    If you look at the label on a can of black beans, you will see that ½ cup of black beans is about 100 calories and contains 8 grams of protein and 7 grams of fibre.

    Many scientific studies have shown that beans can help with cancer prevention as well. How Not to Die is a great book to read if you want to learn more about the health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet, including specific benefits of beans as well.

    If you’re looking for a tasty way to add more beans to your diet, check out this 5 bean salad.

    You could also add them to plant-based tacos using a plant-based taco “meat” such as this tofu crumble or this cauliflower taco meat.

    Suggestions for using this dip

    Here is what I like to dip into this oil-free black bean hummus:

    Healthy crackers (these Mary's Gone Crackers are oil-free)

    Chopped vegetables (my favourites are carrot, celery, and cucumber)

    Oil-free tortilla chips

    This dip can even be spread in a sandwich or a wrap for some added protein!
