Black Bean and Feta Cheese Ugly Dip

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.

This one is so easy and healthy, give it a try at your next meal or get together.

      Hi Kristin,

      I based on this on a recipe from AllRecipes.com and that was the name of the dip. It is delicious and pretty.

      Hi KC, I would not have thought of this dish as a “chopped” dish but I guess it would qualify as that. It is colorful and delicious.
