Recipe: Feta Bean Dip

This flavorful dip is packed with protein, so it makes a great, healthy snack for busy kids to munch on between school and sports activities. It only takes a few minutes to put together, and is great when made a few hours ahead so the flavors can meld.

Purely Perfect Feta Bean Dip
Ingredients:

1 can (15 oz) (or 1 1/2 cups cooked) Navy beans, drained and rinsed well
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, grated
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
dash cumin
3/4 cup fresh herbs, your choice mixture of parsley, dill, and chives

Directions:

• Get out your food processor or blender. (I like the Ninja - it will whip this up for you in about 30 seconds.)
• Put everything in the vessel and hit puree, pulsing until mixture is smooth.
• Scoop out into a bowl, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve with vegetables as a dip for a healthy snack or light lunch or dinner. You may also use as a spread on hearty crackers.
