* 1 tsp cilantro, dried 
* 2 tsp chili powder 
* 2 tsp cumin 
* 1 large or 2 medium size garlic cloves, peeled

===Directions===
* Put all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender container, cover, and blend until smooth. 
* If the dip is too thick for the desired use, add a little water and mix thoroughly.
* The left over black-eye pea dip can be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for two to three days.
Suggested Uses: 
* This recipe may be used as a filling for celery sticks or a dip for raw vegetable pieces. We usually make more than we need for our initial serving so that there will be some left over in the refrigerator for a snack.
 
* We enjoy it on our baked potatoes; or diluted slightly with water, we add this black eye pea dip to a large tossed salad with chunks of baked Potato for a “one-bowl” meal. 
* You may find other uses for this delicious, versatile dip.
