This creamy avocado dip is filled with fresh cilantro, black beans, and roasted corn for a simple dip recipe perfect for an easy appetizer or quick and easy snack!
Lately, my niece has been declaring that she needs everything.
Like, she needs a slice of ‘happy birthday cake’ (as she calls it), or she needs more cheese.
Or, she needs a snack.
It’s absolutely adorable and entirely relatable. There are so many times when I feel like I need myself a snack, or some happy birthday cake (because, well, cake).
Of course, it’s not nearly as endearing when an adult proclaims they need something as it is an adorable toddler with a huge smile.
For instance, I need some Baked Avocado Chicken Burritos right now, or I neeeed (a la What About Bob) a slice of this Potato Tart… sounds ridiculous and whiny.
However, one bite of this Creamy Avocado Dip with Black Beans and Roasted Corn, and you just might be saying, ‘I need this for snack later today.’ And I would totally understand. 😉
All right, so let’s talk about this creamy avocado dip (next to GOOD THiNS- The Potato One- Sweet Potato, it is the reason you’re all here 😉 ).
This dip is made up of just a few simple components:
-Avocado
-Black Beans
-Roasted Corn
-Sour Cream (or plain Greek yogurt—whichever you prefer)
-Cilantro
-Cumin, Chili Powder, & a dash or two of salt
It’s creamy, full of flavor, and filled with the perfect amount of spice (of course, if you prefer things spicier, because I can be a bit of a spice wimp, feel free to add more to your liking).
I think the next question we’re all asking is, “Hmm, what should I dip into this Creamy Avocado Dip?” 😉
And there are 3 acceptable answers here:
-GOOD THiNS- The Potato One- Sweet Potato
-GOOD THiNS- The Beet One- Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt
-GOOD THiNS- The Wheat One- Ancient Grains
All of these GOOD THiNS start with real ingredients, like potatoes, beets, and rice, and are combined with amazing flavors, like sweet potatoes, balsamic vinegar, and spinach.
Their thin, crispy texture comes solely from baking, and they are free from all artificial flavors, colors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup.
These are the real deal—real snacks baked with real ingredients.
