Creamy Southwestern Corn Dip
This creamy Southwestern corn dip is a dip you can serve as part of your appetizer menu or even a side dish. The southwest flavors make this dip unique and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 cans southwest corn; drained
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups mild cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks spring onions; chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Open and drain juice from corn. Place corn into a medium bowl. Add in mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Add in chopped spring onions and cheddar cheese. Stir well.
- Add in chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Serve with potato chips or tortilla chips.
- To serve warm, heat in microwave one minute then mix well.
Notes
- To lend the dip a nice smoky flavor, use grilled corn instead of canned corn as the base.
- I kept it simple and used only spring onions. You can add chopped cucumbers, jalapenos or even bell peppers into the mix. This is actually a fantastic way to bulk up the corn dip too.
- To make a high protein version of the dip, reduce the amount of mayonnaise you're adding and use cottage cheese instead.
