Bomb-Beano Dip Recipe

• 6 oz feta cheese
• 1 can black beean
• 1 can white beans
• 1 can shoe peg corn
• 2 cans Rotel (tomatoes & chilis)
• 2 small green onions

Strain black beans, white beans, corn and Rotel in a colander. Transfer to a bowl and add the feta cheese and chopped onion. Mix thoroughly.  Serve as a dip with tortilla chips, as a topping on a bed of mixed greens or eat alone. 

This dip is low in fat and high in both protein and fiber.  It's extremely easy to make and would be a great side at your next party!

Enjoy! - Lauren
