Watch the salt...
I put the recipe together exactly as listed. I like salt, but this turned out way too salty. So consider where all the salt comes from: does the cans of beans have salt? Probably does. Will your chips have salt? Probably will. Is that 1teaspoon of salt salty? Probably is . Result? You guessed it - I had to do it again!

Bitter taste
It blended beautifully, but I think the white part of the lime made it bitter. Maybe it should be lime juice only?

Very Good
Really like this dip. Easy. Tasty. Salt: use no-salt added beans; Lime: peel - not just 'zest,' or it may be bitter with too much pith left on.

Love it! Easy and delicious!
I rinsed organic low sodium black beans to remove sodium, used 1 large clove garlic and 1 small clove garlic, relaxed a tad on the water due to the beans not drained precisely, followed the recipe but added two small slices of onion chopped and an extra 1/4 Taco seasoning. Served with spicy quacamole tortilla chips. The texture was perfect. Very delicious with a little kick.

Bitter, disgusting, waste of money!
This dip is so bitter from the lime, that it is absolutely disgusting! It cost me about $5 in ingredients I had to throw away, because no one in my family would eat it. I tried to save it by adding extra beans, some salsa, etc., but there was no helping it. This recipe needs a warning label!

Will definitely make again!!
Great recipe. I listened to other reviewers and trimmed my lime with a sharp knife so there was no white off of the lime going into the recipe. I added an extra clove of garlic, couldn’t help it! Dip blended up beautifully and I garnished with red onion and fresh avocado!! Give it a try!!
