Yahoo Lifestyle I'm a Food Editor—And I Cracked the Code to the Best Trader Joe’s Dip Combination
One of my favorite things about Trader Joe's is their familiar yet fresh takes on food and groceries everyone loves. For example, corn salsa can be delicious. But a sweet and spicy corn salsa loaded with chiles and onions? Now that is top notch. And the fact that you can grab so many tasty ready-to-eat dips at your local Trader Joe's feels pretty heaven-sent.
As I just hinted, I have been a fan of the Corn and Chile Salsa at Trader Joe's for as long as I can remember shopping at Trader Joe's. It has been a savior on many lunch or dinner occasions. I've been known to snack on the salsa with tortilla chips and use it as a garnish on steak and grilled chicken.

On my most recent trip to Trader Joe's I finally stumbled upon the much-talked-about Everything and the Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip and it immediately went into my cart. Inside the tub, the dip is a creamy greek yogurt base mixture with corn, everything bagel seasoning, elote seasoning and grated cheese. Upon my first taste, I thought the dip was great to eat on its own. But upon my second taste, I had a lightbulb moment and I combined the Everything and the Elote dip together with the Corn and Chile Salsa— and I'm so glad I did.

The union of the two dips gave birth to my platonic ideal of corn dip: creamy cheese, juicy kernels of sweet corn, a nice kick of heat and it was highly dippable. You don't have to take my word for it. I made this dip combo as an appetizer before dinner, and my family disappeared it in minutes. I can't wait until the weather gets warmer, so I can make this corn dip for endless picnics and cookouts.

How to Make The Easiest Trader Joe's Ultimate Corn Dip
To make this corny-as-heck dip, combine equal parts Trader Joe's Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip and Trader Joe's Corn Chile Salsa in a bowl. Mix to evenly combine. I like to cover the bowl and let it chill for 15 minutes or so to allow the flavors of both dips to meld. Serving is as easy as pairing the ultimate corn dip with your favorite chips or veggies. I love to serve it up with thin pita crackers or sturdy tortilla chips. Just make sure to enjoy your share as a chef snack before you serve to the masses. Once it's out, this dip won't last long.
