Ingredients for Cheesy Corn Dip
Corn– of course, this is the star of this recipe. This dip can be made with fresh, canned or frozen corn
Arugula – probably my favorite green of all time. With that peppery undertone, it goes well with all the other ingredients, the sweet dried fruits, the nuts, the honey and mustard in the vinaigrette. It is the perfect complement. Baby arugula is more tender usually.
Cheese – I prefer to use Cheddar, but you can change it up with Monterey Jack or a mixture of the two.
Sour Cream
Mayonaisse
Spices
