Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1.5 cups Vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 whole Jalapeño (finely diced, optional for heat)
• 2 stalks Green onion (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. You will need about 3-4 ears of corn for 3 cups of kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, lime juice, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Fold in the cooled charred corn, fresh cilantro, green onion, and jalapeño if using. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional cilantro, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh veggies for dipping. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
