Easy Black Bean Dip

In a 12-cup food processor fitted with an "S" blade, combine the drained black beans, salsa, cumin, salt, plus the optional jalapeno slices and cilantro. Secure the lid and process until the black beans are pureed, about 60 seconds. 2. Stop and scrape down the sides of the machine to make sure everything is evenly blended. Then taste the bean dip and make any adjustments as needed. I always add another ½ teaspoon salt, but this may vary based on the salsa you use. Blend again until well mixed, if needed. 3. Serve this dip right away with tortilla chips or sliced veggies. Or, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. It will thicken slightly when chilled and can be served cold or at room temperature again later. 4. prep10 mins 5. cook0 mins 6. total10 mins
