Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the raspberries gently under cold water and set them aside to drain. Drain and rinse the black beans, then place them in a mixing bowl.
- In the bowl with the black beans, add the diced avocado, cooked corn, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix these ingredients gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
- Next, squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture in the bowl. This will add flavor and help prevent the avocado from browning. Season the mixture with salt to taste and stir gently to incorporate the lime juice and salt evenly.
- In a separate bowl, carefully mash the fresh raspberries with a fork. You want to break them down slightly while still keeping some texture. Be careful not to over-mash them.
- To assemble the dip, start with a layer of the black bean and avocado mixture at the bottom of a clear serving dish or individual cups. Smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Next, add a layer of the mashed raspberries on top of the black bean layer. Spread them evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of the black bean mixture followed by a final layer of mashed raspberries. Make sure the top layer is the raspberries for a vibrant presentation.
- Once assembled, you can garnish the top of the dip with a few whole raspberries and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added color and freshness.
- Serve the Raspberry Salsa Layered Dip immediately with tortilla chips on the side for dipping. Enjoy your refreshing and colorful dip!
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture. Gently rinse them to avoid crushing.
- Use a clear serving dish to showcase the beautiful layers of the dip.
- Don't overmix the ingredients - you want to maintain the distinct textures of each component.
- Serve immediately after preparation to keep the avocado fresh and prevent browning.
- For extra heat, consider adding a finely diced jalapeño to the black bean mixture.
- Make sure to season each layer with a little salt to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- If preparing in advance, add the lime juice just before serving to keep the avocado bright and fresh.
- Experiment with different chip varieties like blue corn or lime-flavored tortilla chips for added excitement.
