Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 can diced jalapeños about 4 oz, drained well
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives drained
  • 3/4 cup fire-roasted corn drained
  • 3 to 4 green onions sliced and divided

Instructions
 

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the dry ranch seasoning and stir until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Fold in the diced red bell pepper, drained jalapeños, black olives, fire-roasted corn, and most of the sliced green onions.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle the reserved green onions over the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the dip can chill and the flavors can blend.
  • Serve cold with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Drain the vegetables well to keep the dip thick. For a milder version, use less jalapeño or substitute mild green chiles.
