Black Bean Dip Bites

If I had to pick a favorite meal, it would be really tough to do. I love all kinds of food! But, my favorite style of meal is one made up of different kinds of small bites. I could appetizers every single night. Give me a cheese board or charcuterie plate and I am a happy camper.

This is why I decided to pick three recipes to share with you this month that are perfect for holiday parties or for those nights when you just want to pull out some happy hour snacks. So far I have shared Proscuitto Wrapped Asparagus and Caprese Skewers with Basil Vinaigrette. The last recipe in this trio is Black Bean Dip Bites.

These Black Bean Dip Bites are delectable little cups of bean dip topped with salsa verde and cheese. If you like to live on the edge, you can also put a slice of jalapeno on each one. Then they are baked until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Next, I top them with a bit of sour cream and cilantro.

They are super easy to make and so yummy! Now, you can make all three of these appetizers and a have nice spread for a cocktail party or your Christmas Eve festivities. They would even make a great start to a New Year’s Eve celebration. No matter how or when you make these dishes, your friends and family will be thrilled!
