Ingredients
Scale
Vegetable Mixture
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 2 avocados, diced
- 3/4 cup diced roma tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Juice from 1 lime
Creamy Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup salsa
Toppings
- 1/2 cup shredded colby-jack cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the veggie mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, drained corn, diced red onion, diced avocados, diced roma tomatoes, crumbled feta, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Gently mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Set this mixture aside for later assembly.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a separate smaller bowl, thoroughly mix the mayonnaise and salsa together until you reach a smooth, well-incorporated consistency. This sauce will add creamy flavor and a spicy kick to the dip.
- Assemble the dip: Pour the salsa-mayo sauce over the veggie mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated. Finally, sprinkle the shredded colby-jack cheese and chopped cilantro on top evenly to add extra flavor and a beautiful garnish. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving for best taste.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy.
- You can substitute feta with cotija cheese for a more authentic Mexican flavor.
- Use your favorite salsa—mild, medium, or hot—depending on your spice preference.
- This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before serving again.
- Serve with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats.
