How to Make the Best Ever Mexican Corn Dip
I am gaga over this dip for the taste and because with a few simple ingredient swaps, you can lighten it up without anyone noticing.
The Ingredients
2% Greek Yogurt. Greek yogurt sneaks in as a healthy swap for sour cream. It tastes just as luscious and creamy (just ask Salmon Dip). Plus, it’s packed with protein.Olive-Oil Mayonnaise. It’s not corn dip without mayo. I like the olive-oil based kind, but you can swap regular mayo if you prefer.Spices. Chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin give this dip major pizzaz!.Mexican-Style Corn. A colorful, delicious blend of corn and peppers (you may also see it called Mexicorn or fiesta corn). It’s a fantastic shortcut that helps make this dip incredibly simple.
Cheddar Cheese. Because corn dip with cheese is infinitely more scrumptious. Jalapeno. Jalapenos add a hint of spice without overpowering the other flavors. Hot Sauce. Gives this dip an extra kick of flavor and heat. Feel free to use more if you’d like a spicy corn dip.

Storage Tips
