Recipe of the Week: Black Bean and Corn Dip

Avatar of Marta-H

Posted May 13, 2010 by Marta Holmberg

I’m all about “feeding two birds with one scone,” as my friend Caleb likes to say (the other phrase is definitely not vegan-friendly). So having a recipe in my arsenal of awesomeness (AKA: stuff I make on a regular basis) that is not only a delicious dip but also doubles as a salad makes me almost as happy as Glee does (and that’s saying a lot!).

Check out my super simple, healthy, and tasty black bean and corn dip and make it in huge doses. Seriously—I ♥ this dip!




Here’s what you’ll need:
  • 15.5 ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup yellow corn (I use frozen—just defrost it a bit first)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 to 3 stalks green onion, chopped
  • 2+ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Cumin, to taste
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Combine the beans, corn, bell pepper, and onion in a bowl. Then toss in the vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper, and mix well. The flavors taste even better if it sits for a bit, so I like to stick it in the fridge for an hour or so, then serve with tortilla chips.

This is also tasty mixed up with some rice, served on top of a bed of lettuce, or eaten straight up! Whatever floats your boat. Remember, dips are one of the easiest things to make vegan, so go get creative (and send us extras, please).

Enjoy! :o )

    I’ve done this dip but I replaced the black beans with garbanzo beans so delicious!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
