Janeth’s Corn Salad Dip

A large bowl of corn salad dip.We had a potluck with our neighborhood friends, and Janeth brought the most amazing Corn Salad Dip. It disappeared in seconds, and all of us were raving about it. It’s so fresh and full of flavor. Janeth was kind enough to tell me her secrets that make it extra special, and I’m so excited to share this delicious recipe for Janeth’s Corn Salad Dip with you. It’s going to be your go-to appetizer this summer. I can already picture you carting it to all your picnics and barbecues!  Next, try this zippy Black Bean Avocado Salsa Recipe.

When I think of recipes like this, I’m sure there is lime in it. Not this one. That’s one of her secrets. You use a lemon instead of a lime. The other ingredient you might not expect to see in a recipe like this is some baby mozzarella. The little bites of soft cheese make it extra special. I’m telling you, you aren’t going to be able to stay out of this stuff. It’s delicious and has all the colors of the rainbow. You’ll love the flavor and love getting all those good veggies into your diet. 

Just typing this up is making me wish I had a bowl of it in my fridge right now. I can’t wait for you to give this delicious and healthy dip a try! Make sure to double the batch!

  • In a pinch, you can use frozen sweet corn in place of the corn on the cob.
  • Instead of boiling the corn on the cob, cook the corn with this recipe: Perfect Microwaved Corn on the Cob.
  • Before squeezing the juice out of the lemon, place it in the microwave for 10 seconds, and then roll it on the counter a few times. This makes it easier to squeeze the juice out.
  • Use an electric food chopper and dice the red onion and cilantro together, making sure to only add the cilantro leaves and not the stems.
  • Refrigerate the dip 30-60 minutes before serving so all the flavors can mingle together.

Author: My Friend, Janeth
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 5-7 cups
Ingredients
  • 2-3 ears of sweet corn, boiled and cut off the ear (approx. 2 cups)
  • 2-3 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (I prefer red or orange.)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 very small red onion, diced small (about ¼-1/3 cup)
  • 1 (8 ounce) ball of baby mozzarella, diced
  • ¼ cup of chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 large lemon
  • salt to taste
Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the corn kernels, diced bell pepper, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, diced red onion, diced baby mozzarella, and chopped cilantro.
  2. Next, squeeze the lemon juice (careful not to get any seeds in it) over everything, sprinkle with about ½ tsp of salt, and give a good stir to mix everything up. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. *If possible, try to make it 30-60 minutes before serving so the flavors have time to marinate.
