Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 whole Jalapeño (finely diced, optional for heat)
- 2 stalks Green onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. You will need about 3-4 ears of corn for 3 cups of kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, lime juice, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cooled charred corn, fresh cilantro, green onion, and jalapeño if using. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional cilantro, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh veggies for dipping. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
