This was wonderful! I made it for a party and had rave reviews. I added some extra cilantro to the dip before placing it in the food processor. In addition to the raw veggies, I served it with some organic, no-salt blue corn chips. I am blessed to have a mango tree (organic!) in my backyard. I used some of my mango from last summer that I froze and I thawed for this - it was actually easy to slice. Thanks for the great recipe!

I have made black bean dip several times. It is great on vegetables as well as on a salad. Or dip your carrots or celery sticks into it for a snack. Versatile and delicious. I give it 5 stars.

But I am curious why the associated picture shows a white dip when this dip comes out black.

Janice that is not white. Although it may look that way on your monitor. The picture is very consistent with what the dip would look like had a photo been taken with to much flood light or flash.

What a keeper. Just the right balance of flavors but with a little bit of a tang thanks to the mango AND the DF Blood Orange vinegar which is exceptional/ worth every penny. THANK YOU

Made this for a New Year's party, and wow, is it good! It was also fast, since I had thawed black beans I had previous cooked and salsa I had previously made, mixed it up and it was ready to go. I used a hand masher for the beans, since I couldn't get the right consistency in my vita-mix.

This recipe should be updated to include a link for the salsa: https://www.drfuhrman.com/shop/products/177/tex-mex-salsa

Thank you Linda for updating it per my comment. 

I have made this several times per the recipe, and have recently added blended broccoli to it.  That was part of my dinner crudites but adding to this has two benefits: 1) I'm finely chopping the broccoli, maximizing ITC formation, and 2) it enables me to eat more.  Also, pomegranate arils are a delicious/healthy addition to this recipe!  Five yums out of five.
