Black Bean Nacho Dip

Quinoa, what a funny word, but it is great for you.
I bought a copy of Quinoa 365 the Everyday Superfood after browsing it at my sister's place.
A hint if you are going to try this, the best place to buy quinoa is at Costco.
(WAY less expensive than any where else)
I decided to make this as an appetizer for Brad and I today since we are going to be eating late.
Black Bean Nacho Dip
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 8oz package light cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste


Step 1. Puree the black beans, cream cheese, milk and lime juice.





Step 2. Mix in remaining ingredients






Step 3. Put in pretty serving bowl and enjoy


Ratings:
Brad - 9 - "Great on Tostitos"
Heather - 9.5 - "I think this is going to be my new favorite dip"

Additional Brad Quote:
"You know, I used to hate cilantro, but this is so good"
He tells me this every time I make something with cilantro in it.
