WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS!

• Ready to go in less than 10 minutes! 
• Easy ingredients you probably already have at home.
• Delicious corn dip with fritos or other scooping chip!
• EASY and tasty substitutions
• The COLD sour cream offsets the spicy peppers perfectly

THIS IS HOW TO MAKE IT!

STEP 1

First lay out your ingredients and then chop the jalapeños.

STEP 2

When chopping the jalapeños, it is best to...

• first slice the pepper in half,
• use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs. 
• Then cut into matchstick size slices. 
• This makes for easy small chopping! 

STEP 3.

Put all of the ingredients into a big bowl.

STEP 4

Then mix well and....

• cover with plastic wrap and
• place into the fridge to "meld".

SPECIAL NOTE: 

You'll notice that the corn dip is a little loose at first, it does tend to firm up as it cools back down in the fridge. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN I USE ANY SUBSTITUTIONS IN THIS CORN DIP?

Yes! Of course you can! 

• The sour cream can be substituted with Greek Yogurt, lite sour cream or even creme fresh
• Mayonnaise can be substituted for any mayo substitute such as vegan mayo, lite mayonnaise, etc. 
• Southwest corn can be substituted for any equal amount of corn, but you'll want to increase the fresh jalapeno and perhaps add chopped pimentos as well. 
• The green onions really set this dish off, but if you can't find them or don't have them, use 15 chives or 1 ½ Tbs dried chives or ½ a  minced onion (purple would be best). 
• For more heat, substitute a serrano pepper for the jalapeno. 

HOW LONG WILL CORN DIP BE GOOD FOR? 

1.  Refrigerate after making and it will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days. 
2. Do not allow the Corn Dip to sit out for more than 2 hours before placing into the refrigerator.

CAN I FREEZE CORN DIP? 

Unfortunately, no, corn dip can not be frozen because the mayonnaise in it does not freeze well. It would be a gloopy mess if you froze it. 

WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE SPICY DIPS?

• This dip is only mildly spicy. The jalapeños are fresh peppers and because you remove the seeds and ribs, they don't have much kick at all. 
• If you really want ZERO spiciness, then leave the jalapeños off entirely and substitute a single green bell pepper (remove the seeds and ribs). 
• Serving this cold corn dip with fritos or equally sturdy chip also off sets some of the spice level. 

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CORN DIP

• This dip is BEST if you make it a few hours BEFORE you want to serve it. Let it sit in the refrigerator and let the flavors meld and marry!
• Be SURE to drain the corn well before adding it to the dip, otherwise, your dip will be loose and soggy. 
• BE SURE to use FRESH jalapeños for this dip and not the pickled ones (they would be far too hot). 
• Use a LARGE bowl for mixing, it makes quite a lot. 

PRO TIP:  Add 4 slices of crisply fried and crumbled bacon and serve with a side of small diced tomatoes for a delicious addition.

"God will not deliver him.” But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
