Food processor

Ingredients

2 ears (about 1 ½ cups of kernels) corn on the cob husks and silks removed
8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic grated or finely minced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
15 ounces low-sodium black beans drained and rinsed
½ cup scallions (green onions) chopped
½ cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

To cook corn on the cob, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the peeled corn and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Remove the corn from the water and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob.

Notes

No food processor? Use a blender or mash the feta cheese with a fork until it's smooth.

Don't overmix. Overmixing can cause the feta cheese to break down and become grainy. This is because feta cheese is a soft cheese that contains small curds.

Adjust the seasonings to taste. Taste the dip before serving and add more salt, pepper, or spices to taste.
Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
