Dip and Salsa






I made a salsa over the weekend as well as a bean dip.  Forgot to take photos along the way so only a few photos are available.

The recipes are very simple and got two thumbs up by my niece who is a vegan. :)

The salsa was easy to make and contains, rinsed can of black beans, 1 small red onion diced, 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely diced, 1 red pepper seeded and diced, 2 smaller peppers diced not sure what variety they are they came from a friends garden,  about 1 cup of diced diced pineapple, ground cumin and the juice of 2 limes. Mix everything together and refrigerate until ready to serve.  The salsa is great with oven baked tostitos scoops.





The bean dip is based on a recipe by Nigella Lawson.  It is super easy to make and very delicious. The recipe is one canned drained and rinsed white kidney beans, half of a large lemon juiced, 2 Tablespoons smooth peanut butter, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and ground cumin. Whiz it in a mini chopper and serve.





I am ending the post with a photo of Daisy.  It is too cute for words :)  My niece took this photo.
