Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) Mexicorn (or regular corn with diced red and green peppers, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream (or fat-free Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise (or light mayo)
- 1 package (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix (look for a lighter version or use a homemade mix)
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
- 1/2 cup diced green onions (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional for a little kick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Veggies like carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips
- Baked tortilla chips (choose a lighter, baked variety for fewer points)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix together the drained Mexicorn, reduced-fat sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined. - Add Optional Ingredients:
If using, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions for extra flavor. You can also add more chili powder or even some jalapeños for a spicier dip! - Chill:
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it sits, the better it tastes! - Serve:
Serve with your choice of veggies for a lighter snack, or use baked tortilla chips for a more traditional dip experience.
