Fresh corn and tomatoes are tossed together with bacon and guacamole to make this irresistible dip. I made this for a family movie night and the three avocado lovers in my family managed to eat almost the whole batch.
This is an awesome appetizer for any summer party; scoop it up with chips or eat it off the spoon. However you serve it, it’s going to disappear fast.
You know those recipes that you want to make as soon as you see them? My friend Sandy shared this recipe on Facebook a few days ago and as soon as I saw it, I crossed the corn dish I had planned to make off of my menu and wrote this one in its place.
I’m glad I did because I couldn’t get enough of this dip.
I love everything about fresh corn, I’ve been known to eat it straight off the cob, roasted or grilled, skillet fried, sautéed or stir fried. I’ll take corn just about any way you might think to serve it and I’m thrilled to have a new corn recipe in my hands for the summer.

I love just about anything I can dip in, and fresh corn is one of my favourite foods – I'll need to try this this summer, and hide it all for myself 🙂

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I loved the knife post and watched the whole thing. HOWVER, I don't understand why you don't have "PIN" buttons attached to your post. I especially love pinning recipes and using the pin button on a blog makes it sooooo much easier. My computer is very old and the "pin" on the bar at the top doesn't always work.. Please consider.

OK, it's time to EAT CROW. I just realized I have been looking in the wrong spot for the pin button. I couldn't understand why you wouldn't have one being as large as you are. So glad to be able to Pin your recipes. My apologies

Do I use the corn fresh off the cob or do I cook it?
Mary says
Fresh off the cob. Enjoy!
