1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, undrained |
cilantro sprig (optional) |
Directions:
1. With food processor running, drop garlic through food chute; process until minced. Add fresh cilantro and next 5 ingredients (through undrained beans), and process until smooth. Garnish with cilantro sprig, if desired.
