Black Bean Dip

I meant to post this recipe for Cinco de Mayo, but I’m not always as organized as I’d like to be and my best intentions fell by the wayside as I was knee deep in chalupas, salsa verde and those incredible crepes.  That said, I knew I had to get this one up before Memorial Day, because you’re going to want to have a big batch of this on hand all weekend! What you’ll appreciate about this dip is that it straddles the line between fresh food and convenience items.  Fresh from crunchy bell peppers, red and green onion, zesty lime, garlic, spicy jalapeno and aromatic cilantro.
