Black Bean Dip

This is a really flavorful, low fat, low calorie dip-- it even has carrots in it (and I secretly add finely chopped spinach... wahahahah).

Yield
5 cups (serving size: 2 tablespoons)
Ingredients
· 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
· 1 cup grated carrot
· 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
· 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
· 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
· 1 teaspoon minced garlic
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
Preparation
Place beans in a food processor, and pulse until almost smooth. Combine the beans, carrot, and the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring until well blended. Let stand 30 minutes. Serve with baked tortilla chips.
