Shrapnel Dip

I have decided to post several recipes that I thought were great, but never got around to posting. So get excited.
This dip is awesome. So so so good. I could eat it all the time I think. I tend to leave out the white beans. Because one can of beans is enough for me!

Make it.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 can white beans, such as navy or Great Northern
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can corn (see note above)
  • 1-2 avocados, diced
  • 1/4-1/2 cup red pepper, diced
  • 1-2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  • 1/3 cup Italian dressing (see note above), plus more if needed
  • Squeeze of fresh lime (about 1/2 tablespoon or so from half of a large lime)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • White, blue or yellow corn/tortilla chips for serving
DIRECTIONS
  1. Drain the beans and corn together in a colander. Give them a quick rinse and let them drain really well so no extra liquid makes its way into the dip. You can use a salad spinner to get rid of excess liquid or lay them out on a double layer of paper towels and blot dry. Add them to a large bowl.
  2. Toss in the avocados, red pepper, tomatoes, red onion and cilantro. Mix. Pour the dressing over the top of the salad and using a large spoon or spatula, fold the ingredients and dressing together until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Squeeze the lime juice over the top. Gently mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with chips. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. If making in advance, wait to chop and stir in the avocados until right before serving.

  2. ok I have made this a number of times and I found something that was EVEN better. Add like 1 tsp of Johnny's Seasoning. It really makes the flavors pop.
