Black Bean Dip

One of my most favorite dips in the entire world!

4 cups cooked black beans (you can use two cans if you would like, I prefer to prepare them myself. If you use the cans, make sure you drain all the liquid!!)
3-4 whole cloves garlic
1/4 c Fresh cilantro (or parsley, if you can't find cilantro. Dried does work, just not as flavorful. Use about 2 Tbsp if substituting dried.)
1/4 c Water
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed Lime Juice (lemon juice can be substituted, but, again, just doesn't taste quite as good...)
1tsp Salt (or more, to taste)
1 tsp ground Cumin

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth! Tada!! (If you need to add more liquid, alternate adding more lime juice and olive oil by the 1/2 tsp.)

Quick Meal ideas:
Eat this with your favorite chips as a light lunch (I sometimes sprinkle the beans with feta cheese and that adds a very Central American taste to it.)

Use in a burrito for a fun replacement of the usual refried beans!

This is always a hit at parties!
