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.

• Sour Cream 
• Mayonaisse
• Spices
