by Sarah Zinkel on February 2, 2012

i’ve seen a lot of recipes for superbowl foods lately and i’m sure you’ve seen them too.

i hope you’re not sick of them yet because i’ve got another for ya!

this dip is a healthier option compared to a lot of the traditional superbowl sunday foods. and honestly, it tastes just as good, if not better!

i messed with the recipe on saturday afternoon until i got it perfect! then i served it during game night with chips, carrots, and celery and there was not a bit left. i’m pumped that it went over so well.

spicy black bean and corn dip

 

ingredients:

  • 15 oz black beans (drained and rinsed if you use a can)
  • 15 oz sweet corn (drained and rinsed if you use a can)
  • 1/2 cup salsa (i used hot!)
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt (i used fat free)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 jalapenos, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • pinch salt

method

  • reserve 1/4 cup black beans and 1/4 cup corn.
  • combine all remaining ingredients in food processor or blender (i used our magic bullet) and blend until you reach desired consistency.
  • stir in reserved black bean and corn if you prefer a chunkier dip (i do).
  • refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
  • serve with whole grain tortilla chips, celery, or carrots

i think this would be awesome with roasted corn. i couldn’t find it at my supermarket and we were out of the trader joe’s kind, but next time i’ll be making it with that!

since i won’t get to have any of this during the superbowl on sunday (thanks to my juice cleanse), please, try it for me!

Hi Sarah-
Your dip looks awesome!
We will be at the Waste Management Open on Hole 16 on Sunday.
Apparently this is a very BIG deal. Hoping to catch part of the game after the tournament. :)

We will most likely be fishing but that sounds like a nice snack to bring along out on the ice.

We’ll watch the Superbowl as long as our internet cooperates. Good luck with sticking with the juice fast through America’s National Day of Eating Crappy Food.

This does look good. For some reason I still buy spicy black bean dip from Trader Joe’s– this reminds me that it’s something I could easily make myself.
