This is such a light and creamy dip that is different from all the usual dips. You might be surprised at just how well the flavors all come together. I promise you, when you take this dip anywhere, it will be gone in no time! People wont be able to help themselves ha! I love the crunch from all the vegetables it is really a nice contrast to the cool and creamy dip. Its the perfect make-ahead appetizer for summer gatherings, backyard BBQs, or relaxing by the pool!FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:What other vegetables can I add? Add whatever veggies you like! Shredded carrots, finely chopped broccoli, diced tomatoes, jalapeos, frozen spinach (excess water squeezed out), etc. Feel free to switch out what you prefer. What chips work best for dipping? I like to serve this with tortilla chips (I really love the ones that have a hint of lime) but any chips work great. Corn tortilla chips, Ritz crackers, Triscuts, Fritos, etc. all would be fantastic options. How long can this sit out when serving at a party? Since there is dairy in this, it shouldnt sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If possible, keep it covered and stick the bowl onto another larger bowl that has ice in it to keep it nice and cool while enjoying. How to store leftover dip? Keep dip refrigerated for up to 3 days, give it a good stir before serving leftovers. Can I freeze this dip? I do not suggest freezing. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)cream cheese If you need tips, I have Tips to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly.mayonnaise instead of mayo, you could use plain greek yogurt. This will make it slightly more tangy though. Plant based mayonnaise works as well.frozen corn thawed. Canned corn can be used, just drain really well. Or you can use fresh corn if you prefer. canned green chiles drained. If green chiles arent your thing, feel free to leave them out. This dip is super customizable. I get them mild because I dont want too much spice.canned sliced black olives If you dont care for black olives, leave them out.red bell pepper I like the color the red bell pepper gives to this dip but use other colors that you prefer.green onions thinly slicedgarlic You can use the jarred stuff if that is all you have on hand. I always think fresh is best with garlic but do what is easiest for you.chopped fresh cilantro dont like cilantro? Skip it.lime juice fresh squeezed. I always feel like fresh squeezed lime juice is always better than the bottled stuff. The bottled stuff doesnt taste the same as real lime juice and can be way more acidic. Dont want to try the lime Just skip it.lime zest this adds such a bright flavor to this dip. I think youll be surprised at how well the flavors really come together!ranch seasoning mix you can even use Homemade Ranch Seasoning.HOW TO MAKE POOLSIDE DIP:Place the cream cheese, mayonnaise, corn, green chiles, olives, bell pepper, green onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
