Beautiful Day Bean Dip


  • 1 can black beans (I like the Eden Organics brand, because they soak the beans in Kombu for you and this helps digestion)
  • 1 can navy or kidney beans (also Eden Organics)
  • 1 fresh garlic clove
  • Basil, chives and parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • pinch of cayenne
Put your olive oil and garlic cloves in blender or food processor, and blend.  Follow with herbs, and then beans.  ENJOY!
