For this week’s tried and true, I am sharing a great Fiesta Corn Salsa Dip. This delicious recipe is from my best friend, Sandi – she always has the best food at her get-togethers.
Fiesta Corn Salsa Dip (Easy)
This past weekend, Sandi hosted a barbecue, and there was great food all around, from drinks to dessert. This AWESOME DIP was the party favorite! The kids and adults swarmed this dip. SWARMED! Sandi had to refill the bowl twice. The recipe makes a lot, so it’s a perfect appetizer for large gatherings.

I drain the corn and roast it with a cooking torch before making the recipe. Better and slightly different taste.

Made this last night for a holiday party. Cold it was tasty and rather "mayonais-y" (maybe ok for a summer event) but warmed up it was cheesy and amazing!!!! I had intended to bake it like an artichoke dip but ran out of time so put it in a shallow baking dish, nuked it, then topped with a little more cheese (because it wasnt very pretty!) and finished it a bit in the oven. BIG hit! Took it to the event hot but it was good at room temp as the evening went on. Very unique.
Also couldnt find mexicorn anymore so used a can of corn with peppers and a can of fire roasted corn (who knew there was such a thing?!) both about 15 oz. Could have used maybe another can, too, considering the amount of mayo and sour cream (I used light/lowfat kinds of both of them-surely this is a "healthy" dip?!?!?) Thanks for the recipe!

i love this dip! i added 1 lemon juiced to mine and half old cheddar and half jalapeno cheddar…i also added chili salt and pepper to mine. the only thing i'd do differently is add some cream cheese so it sets better.. i found mine to be a bit liduidy
