Easy Creamy Yummy Healthy Bean Dip Recipe

Easy, creamy, healthy bean dip! | lower calorie recipe at I Gotta Create!

I'll give you a second to guess
what the secret ingredient is in my 
Easy Creamy Yummy Healthy Bean Dip
that saves calories
and yet makes it soooooo good.

It may be a little unconventional

but here it goes:
cottage cheese.


I wouldn't steer you wrong.
After all,
I told you the REAL scoop on those
great-looking {but are they?}

So here's my 

Easy Creamy Yummy Healthy Bean Dip Recipe



Easy, creamy, healthy bean dip! | lower calorie recipe at I Gotta Create!

One 16-oz. can of light red kidney beans
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup of salsa (or to taste)
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Rinse and drain the beans. Blend all the 
ingredients together in the blender until smooth.

If you prefer, you can chill the dip 
for 2 hours or overnight and it will thicken up.

We like ours a little thinner,
similar to the consistency of a cheese dip.

Garnish with a little cheese, olive, and/or jalapeƱo peppers, and
Serve with tortilla chips.
Or pita bread.
Or celery.
Or your fingers. 
{to clean out the bowl, I mean}

This Bean Dip is perfect for
Game Day
Father's Day
Cinco De Mayo
…who are we kidding… any day!
