This dip, side dish, or whatever you want to call it….is TO DIE FOR!!!! It is seriously SO yummy!! I first fell in love with this dip when my sister-in-law, Angeline made this for a family gathering! Just typing this is making my mouth water!
This is a great dish for a special occasion, holiday party, or just to have something special at home!! 🙂
What I love about this dip is it is fresh. Its all veggies and healthy fats but you wouldn’t really think so. It has a creaminess texture but also a nice crisp and crunch. The other great thing about this dip is you can make it as healthy as you want or leave as is. It’s up to you!!
Dip/Salad
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans Green Giant Mexicorn or Del Monte Fiesta Corn, drained
3-4 tomatoes, diced
4 avocados, diced
6 green onions, diced
red onion, diced
Dressing
2 packages Good Seasonings Italian Dressing (Dry Mix)
½ cup vinegar, white or red
¾ cup olive oil
tortilla chips, optional
Directions:
- Mix dip/salad together in a bowl. Mix dressing ingredients together and pour over bowl of veggies. Stir to coat.
- Serve with tortilla as a dip or as is as a side dish.
- *Best if prepared in advance so flavors can mingle.
***To make it healthy***
To make this dip healthy you could use organic, fresh ingredients, or organic canned ingredients. When serving you can eat just as is, add pita bread/chips, or eat with other veggies such as celery or cucumbers. It is a very versatile dip!!
***Make Italian dressing healthy***
Healthy Italian Dry Mix ..here is my recipe on a healthier alternative to the Italian dressing if you want to make this instead of using the pre-made packages.

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! My name is KarenAnne Taggett. I am from a small town in Michigan called Lawton. I grew up there most of my life until I married my high school sweetheart Rich. He is in the U.S. Army and we have lived in North Carolina and Tennessee. We are currently stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.
Parker, our oldest son, who just turned 6 in May. How time flies! It seems like just yesterday he was born. I absolutely adore him and I think he knows it! ;) I love watching him grow more and more each and every day. He is a big first grader this year and while school can be challenging he is making the most of it and rocking it!
Grayson, our angel baby, was born sleeping on January 1, 2016 at 35 weeks and 5 days due to hyper-coiled umbilical cord. We miss him every single day but we feel him around us always, in the wind, sunshine, and all the pennies he leaves us. He will always be our baby boy.
Sullivan, our youngest, who just turned 1. He is our rainbow baby . I got pregnant with him a month after we lost Grayson. We were not expecting that but I think his brother Grayson sure knew what he was doing when he sent him to us. He is the sweetest boy and always so happy. He is our sunshine and then some!
We have one dog, a white Boxer named Love. She is such a love bug, hence her name. She just turned 9 in July. She's my only daughter and keeps me company in this full house of boys. She is very spoiled and I can't imagine my life without her.
I am an easy going person and down to earth! I call myself a genuine country girl! I love being a mom and an Army wife. I love spending time with my husband when time allows but we love being together as a family. We LOVE being outside and doing things around the house. We go to the parks a lot with our sons and dog. Anything to keep us outside, we love!
I'm on a mission to find what I want to be when I grow up. I thought it was a teacher, and now that I'm 99% done with my bachelors in elementary education, I don't feel that is where my heart is anymore. I'm also juggling mom life, military life, and being a stay at home mom. I know I have a calling or a purpose or what I'm supposed to do when I grow up, I just haven't figured that out yet.
I'm so glad you have taken the time to check out my blog! I hope you follow my journey, have some laughs, and join the silliness!
