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.

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.
