Adapted from AllRecipes.com, this easy, versatile Black Bean and Feta Cheese Ugly Dip is great as a side to a Mexican dinner, or on top of a salad, or as a cold appetizer dip.
It is easy to change it up to your taste. If you change the black beans to garbanzo beans, it becomes more of a mediterranean style dip.
