Who is ready for some football? This amazing 4-ingredient, low-carb dip stars our amazing red bean and will be a hit at your next tailgating celebration!

Red beans and rice, a Louisiana staple traditionally served on Mondays, offers a wonderful source of fiber and protein to our diet. I love this dish and tradition so much, I proudly wear a red bean charm as a necklace (thank you Mignon Faget!)

This dip embraces our Skinny Louisiana motto by celebrating our Monday culinary tradition, bringing over to a football celebration (hello SEC!) and cutting down the total fat by using light cream cheese and reduced-fat shredded cheese. Complicated? Not at all, a simple food processor is all you need to dazzle the crowd.

Ingredients:

1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup salsa
2 packages light cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar shredded cheese

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in food processor.
2. Process until smooth.
3. Serve with high-fiber crackers OR Shelly’s Skinny Chips.

Servings: 24 (approximately 2 tablespoons)
