Cinco de Mayo [Recipe] - So Delicious!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, friends!

When I think about Cinco de Mayo, I think about Mexican favorites that include margaritas, tacos, dips, salsa, quesadillas, and enchiladas.  My husband makes a mean margarita and you haven't lived until you've tried it. I promise. 

Tonight I'm sharing a favorite recipe that my sister introduced me to last summer. After mixing together the ingredients, you might find that it doesn't look appetizing. AllRecipes.com even includes the words "ugly dip" in their title for it. But it's, oh, so delicious, and you won't be able to stop after one bite.

The recipe is called Black Bean and Feta Cheese Dip. My sister calls it Southwestern Corn Salsa. It's a great side to a Mexican dinner, or on top of a cold salad, or as I've always had it, served as a delicious dip! The dip is crunchy, colorful, and made with fresh and healthy ingredients. You just have to give it a try! You won't be disappointed! The best part? It takes 10 minutes to whip up... try it!!

Here are the ingredients:

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup olive oil

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (11 ounce) can corn, drained

½ green bell pepper, chopped

½ red bell pepper, chopped

½ small red onion, diced

1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese

5 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

Whisk vinegar, sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, and pepper together in a bowl.

Mix black beans, corn, red onion, and red and green bell peppers together in a separate bowl.

Drizzle dressing over black bean mixture; toss to coat.

Refrigerate dip 1 hour.

Top with feta cheese and chopped green onions before serving. Serve with corn chips!

Whenever I make this dip, I receive incredible reviews. If you happen to try it, let me know what you think and leave a comment below. If you've made this before, let me know if you change any of the ingredients - I've seen it done differently, too!
