Try this Mediterranean Black Bean Dip that I came up with today:

1 1/2 cup cooked black beans, drained
1 - 2 cup(s) water
10 kalamata olives, with 2 tbsp vinegar
1 clove garlic, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp Chia Seed 

Mix all in a vita-mix, except the chia seed, until smooth. Add the chia seed and mix lightly. Pour into a container and wait 30 minutes to serve. The dip will thicken as the chia seed absorbs the liquid.

Thank you for posting this fun idea. Can hardly wait to try this one Julie; what type of vinegar are you using? Jim

I used the vinegar in the bottle of Kalamata olives from Costco.
