Black Bean And Bell Pepper Vegan Appetizer

Though there are more than a few ingredients, it’s very simple to prepare. Not only that, but it freezes well. Sometimes I will make this and freeze it in smaller portions, so I can take it out when I just feel like a snack myself or when I have unexpected company.
Serve with pita bread or your favorite crackers or corn chips. Those would be the best if you’ve made them yourself, baked with no oil

Ingredients

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can refried pinto beans
  • 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled, washed and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup prepared salsa
  • 1 red bell pepper & 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle sauce
  • 4 -5 green onions
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 1 to 2 cups cilantro
  • 1 to 2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup Nutritional yeast
  • Juice of 1 1/2 lemons, or to taste
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Run the black beans and zucchini though the food processor until blended well. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl. Add the remainder of the ingredients and mix well. Transfer once again to a pretty serving bowl. Chill and serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or your favorite crackers. I’ve even served this with apple wedges and carrots and celery sticks
