WHAT'S COOKING - SF


Are you in need of a quick and easy appetizer with Labor Day Weekend right around the corner? Look no further because this Corn Salsa Dip is pure perfection. No exaggeration. I've made this dip on a few occasions and it's always a hit, the best part? It's so simple to make.



Corn Salsa Dip
Ingredients:
1 fairly ripe avocado (you don't want it to be too soft yet you don't want it to be too hard - like Goldilocks, somewhere in the middle works best)
1 lime
4oz Mild Soft Goat Cheese
1 jar (13.75 oz) Trader Joe's Corn and Chile Tomato-Less Salsa

If you're making this recipe for a large crowd I suggest doubling or even tripling the recipe. Trust me, it goes fast. 

First things first, prepare your ingredients. For the avocado you're going to want to slice and dice it so you have thin, delicious chunks. Don't you just love working with fresh ingredients?
This is my definition of beauty. Sorry, distracted by food porn, okay back to the recipe. 

You're going to need a shallow bowl or container, again depending on how much of the dip you want to make - scale your container to your needs. 

Take the soft goat cheese and press it to the bottom of your dish, you're going to want a flat layer that completely covers the bottom of your container. Make sure you don't press it in too hard or it will be difficult to scoop with chips. 

Next, take your Trader Joe's corn salsa and pour it directly on top of the goat cheese layer. 

Mmmmm. Then, take the avocado chunks you sliced previously and distribute it evenly on top of the corn salsa.

Cut your lime and squeeze the juice directly onto the avocado and corn salsa layers.

That's it. It's that simple. Now grab a handful of your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy these delicious layers of goodness. 

What do you plan on cooking up this weekend?
