Happy Monday! A new week is here. Yay! Anything exciting on your agenda? Well, tomorrow I leave for my third trip of the month to Utah. As exhausting as this month has been, I am super excited to hang out with my blog bestie (Jenn) and attend a work conference.
Anywho, let’s talk about delicious food, shall we? I love beans (giggle). Garbanzo beans, refried beans, pork and beans and more! So, sharing this Black Bean Dip recipe with all of you is making my taste buds water… it is soooo good! I made this with my Mom (hi mom) and I couldn’t wait to finish photographing it so I could keep eating it. True story!

Hi, I love this dip!! It’s delicious! Do you think the dip will be ok if made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a day?
Hi Allison! Glad you like the dip — and, yes, I definetely think it can be stored in the fridge for a few days if necessary. Enjoy!
Thank you for this recipe! I rarely post comments, but this was delicious, quick & easy…all my favorite things in a keeper!
Gross does not even begin to describe this dip! I kept looking to see if I put the wrong ingredients in it. Nope, I did it right. It should not have Balsamic Vinegar!
Good but WAY WAY WAY WAY too oniony!! I used half an onion and that was still pushing it!
I am not a fan. The onion was over powering and I only used half of what the recipe called for. After the aggressive onion flavor leaves, all I taste is balsamic vinegar. I love black beans. This was a miss.
