Two of our most popular selections are paired to make this simple and tasty appetizer that you can throw together in under 10 minutes. Not all flavorful dips need high amounts of saturated fat for richness. Check out this healthier ingredient list; not only are most of the flavors already infused in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar but you can probably find the remaining items already in your pantry or fridge. The flavors need about 15-20 minutes to marry after you combine all the ingredients – just enough time to chop your veggies and other dipping items. This is also perfect for taking to your next party. Whip it up and by the time you commute to the party, the flavors are perfectly blended.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive This! Garlic Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Olive This! Sicilian Lemon Balsamic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped flat leaf parsley, plus parsley sprig(s) for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop the parsley leaves and set aside.
Add all the ingredients except the parsley to a food processor.
Puree the beans using one second pulses (about 10-12) to start. Run the food processor for about 15 seconds and stop to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Repeat until you reach a somewhat smooth consistency (for hummus).
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and stir in the chopped parsley leaves. Let the hummus stand for about 15-20 minutes to marry the flavors. Drizzle with a little more of the garlic olive oil and serve with pita chips or fresh veggies.
