    We love a good dip at the Vegan Larder. Especially ones made with beans that are full of flavour and tang! Which is why this easy vegan Black Bean Dip made with spicy smokey chipotle is an easy favourite!

    ๐ŸŒถ Only 4 Ingredients

    This dip is only 4 ingredients too, and also has no oil! Triple yay! All it contains is black beans, semi-dried tomatoes, chipotle paste & some lime juice. Couldn't be easier!

    1. Black Beans: Black beans from a tin are perfect for this dip! Just keep a little of their liquid aside to loosen up the dip.
    2. Chipotle Paste: I buy this smokey spicy chilli paste at the supermarket. You can also find chipotle chillis in a tin,which also taste great.
    3. Lime Juice: Fresh for an added tang and to balance the flavour.
    4. Semi Dried Tomatoes: Sweet and tangy, these really round out the flavour of this dip!

    ๐Ÿฅ–Healthy Dips

    Why do we like dips with beans? Well, any kind of dip is good, but one with loads of beany goodness are even better. Beans and pulses are full of protein & fibre and when whizzed up into a dip, they make a great snack or addition to all kinds of meals. Think how good hummus is with crackers or bread, or how yummy a creamy white bean dip is for eating with crudites. (like this one!)

    ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณHow To Make

    This gorgeous smokey vegan black bean dip is so super quick and easy to make! I created it 'live' on Facebook and it took me less than 4 minutes

    • All you need to do is drain your beans, leaving the liquid aside.
    • Add all the ingredients into the blender..
    • Then blend blend blend! Taste for the flavour profile and add a little salt or more liquid as needed.
    Make sure not to squeeze lime juice in your eye!

    โ“FAQ

    What kind of black beans did you use?

    I just used black beans from a tin. If you have some that you have cooked yourself you can also use those instead.

    I can't find Chipotle paste. What can I use instead?

    1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and some fresh or jarred chilli to your taste is a good substitute.

    Do I have to use fresh lime juice?

    Fresh lime juice tastes best, but you can also use the stuff that comes in a squeezy bottle!

    How long will this dip store for?

    This dip will store in the fridge for up to 7 days.

    Can I freeze this dip?

    Yes you can freeze the dip, it might need to be whizzed up again in the blender for the best texture.

    ๐Ÿฅ—How to serve:

    This dip goes great with corn chips, or with a taco or on some nachos... or why not try serving it with these ideas:

    1. Easy Vegan Chickpea Flour Flatbreads.
    2. Super Seed Crackers!
    3. Spicy Relish Vegan Jackfruit Wrap
    4. Beautiful Beetroot Hummus Dip
    5. Avocado and Olive Dip
