Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad

So this definitely does not fit my new low cholesterol diet. I made this recipe before I knew I had super high cholesterol so this one is for all you healthy people out there! 

As far as recipes go, it was pretty straight forward to make, but I would also have some suggestions to make it more likeable (to me). See the notes below. 

  • 1 medium red onion, quartered
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 cups fresh corn (about 8 ears) cooked and cooled, or 2 cans
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, divided
Grill onion and jalapenos covered, over medium-high heat or broil 4 inches from heat 3-5 minutes or until lightly charred. Cool completely; chop into 1/2 inch pieces. 

Combine the next 9 ingredients. Stir in corn, cheeses, half the bacon, and the grilled vegetables. Top with remaining bacon to serve. 

NOTES: We used white onion on this recipe originally. I changed the recipe to use red onion because I think it would provide a lot more flavor. I also didn't like the overwhelming chili powder flavor (I think it was the chili powder and not the paprika). I would lessen that and add more garlic (I know, big surprise). 

Serves 8

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes plus cooling
