If it has Avocado in it, I’m there. If it has bacon in it, I’m definitely there. But most importantly, if it’s a dip, I will devour it. I love a good dip. In fact chips and dips are my favorite food group. So there’s no surprise that this Avocado Bacon and Corn Dip is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes when bringing something to a party, luncheon or a gathering. It’s so delicious.
The thing that makes this dip so good is that people gravitate towards it’s “freshness” especially in the Winter. But it’s also just as good, during the hot Summer months. I mean, I make it my entire meal. Just ask my husband. I’ll hog a dip like it’s my business. 😉
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious avocado bacon and corn dip:
