What’s In This Gluten Free & Vegan Bean Dip Recipe?
- Low Sodium Black Beans: Using a low or no salt bean is essential in this dish! These no salt added or low sodium beans have better flavor and control of the salt in your dip. If you use normal canned beans you run the risk of having the dip be way too salty.
- Salsa: This Green Mountain Gringo brand salsa is our absolute favorite… and I like that you can re-use the mason jars when you are done with the salsa to can other foods! It’s like a extra bonus.
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this dip – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
- Cumin: also adds a really nice flavor to this dip – cumin has a lightly smokey flavor found in a lot of chili recipes.
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! if you don’t like spice, you can absolutely skip them in this recipe.
- Jalapenos: if you don’t have fresh jalapenos, these jarred sliced jalapenos are a fantastic addition to the dip! I use these in a pinch, they’re great to keep a jar or two in the pantry.
- Plant-Based Cheese – get one that melts, or a vegan queso that you can stir in.
- Cilantro, Roasted Red Pepper, and Olives to top!
