Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn kernels frozen
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • ½ red pepper finely diced
  • cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeno seeded, finely diced (optional)
  • cup cojita cheese crumbled

For The Dressing

  • cup mayonnaise
  • cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime, fresh

Instructions

  • Add corn to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes or until corn is vibrant and some kernels have blackened, stirring every minute or so. Remove from heat, and allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled corn, red peppers, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, cojita cheese, and dressing.
  • Allow dip to sit for 30 minutes before serving, so flavors can combine.

Notes

If you can't find cojita cheese at the store, crumbled feta is a good substitute.
For added kick, add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
