Black Bean Dip

Black Bean Dip

from Swanson Vitamins

1 can (15oz) Black Beans drained (or cooked dried beans)

1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning or your favorite spicy mix

2 tablespoons chopped fresh onion

1 celery stalk

1-2 cloves crushed garlic

3 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/4 teaspoon salt (as desired)

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1/4 cup of water

Place celery in food processor and chop finely. In a skillet, sauté celery with the turkey bacon until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients. If you like chunkier dip only beat for a few seconds. For a smoother dip, beat longer.

Makes 2 1/2 cups

NOTE: Try substituting any beans (black eye, conks, etc) for unique flavors. Beans are delicious mixed as well.
