Instructions
Basil Hummus
Drain beans and rinse
Blend all ingredients in blender.
Black Bean Dip
Drain beans and rinse
Add all ingredients to food processor and blend until all ingredients are completely mixed
Pumpkin Seed Dip
Toast pumpkin seeds in pan for 3 minutes on medium heat
Add pumpkin seeds and all other ingredients to food processor and blend until smooth
Jalapeno Guacamole
Add all ingredients to bowl or blender cup and mix until nearly smooth, leaving a few chunks of avocado. This dip can be mixed in a small bowl with a fork, or you can use a small hand blender like a NutriBullet (not a Vitamix since the ingredients will stick to the blades).
