Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add sour cream and mayonnaise, mixing until fully combined.
Finely dice red bell pepper, slice green onions, chop cilantro, and mince jalapeño if using.
Fold in corn, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper into the creamy base. Mix until everything is well distributed.
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. For even better flavor, chill for up to 24 hours.
Stir before serving and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve cold with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
