It’s party season! Do you have the same problem at parties that I do? When I go to a party I tend to eat way more than I should. A little bit here and a little bit there really adds up to way too many calories. Most dips are made with mayonnaise, cream cheese or sour cream…none of which are low fat. Even guacamole, which has none of those things, can be an overload of fat if you aren’t careful how much you eat.
So I tackled this challenge by making a low-fat party dip. Adding pureed beans to guacamole was a stroke of genius (even if I do say so myself). The resulting beanamole had a great flavor and texture, as well as containing more fiber than the average party dip. It also makes a great filling for a veggie wrap.
Here is how to make avocado dip into beanamole for your next party!
Beanamole
- 2 medium avocados, peeled and chopped
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned white beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup red or green onion, minced
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 small jalapeno, finely chopped
- Puree avocados and beans in a food processor.
- Add lime or lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to food processor; pulse until just blended.
- Stir in remaining ingredients and serve.
