I’m not sure why I’ve been holding this recipe out on you guys for almost 2 years now. Maybe part of me wanted to keep it a secret? But I’ve realized that I can’t do that to you guys because this dip is that good. I have the recipe for the best black bean avocado dip and I can almost guarantee it will become your go-to appetizer once you try it. Since the big game day is around the corner, I thought this would be a perfect time to post it so you can go out and buy your avocados now so they are perfectly ripe in time for Sunday.

Ok so a little background on this coveted recipe –  my mother in law (who is another one of those people who doesn’t think she is a good cook, but is insanely wrong about that) gave me this recipe. And I’m not just saying that because she reads my blog. My mom and sisters have “stolen” some of our favorite recipes from her and make them over and over again… like this dip.

If you are anything like me, you park yourself in front of the table of grub at any party with a drink in hand and don’t move. It’s kind of a problem because then I am never hungry for dinner… but this dip in particular is one that no one has to feel bad about. It’s not cheesy, fatty, melty goop (which I also love) but this dip doesn’t give you that guilt ten minutes post consumption. It’s completely raw, clean ingredients while also being amazingly tasty and crowd pleasing.

Black beans, scallions, seranno peppers, lime juice, cilantro and olive oil. That’s it.

Then fold in the cubed avocado and chill it for a bit before serving with tortilla chips.
