Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned or frozen)
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese (optional for garnish)
Instructions
If using fresh or frozen corn, lightly cook the kernels in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside to cool. Skip this step if using canned corn; just drain the canned corn thoroughly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt and softened reduced-fat cream cheese. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the jalapeño, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Fold in the cooled corn kernels gently to coat them in the creamy mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle the top with a small amount of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese for garnish.
Serve the dip immediately with your choice of fresh-cut veggies, baked tortilla chips, or whole-grain crackers. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours until ready to serve.
