Corn Party Dip

This post is sponsored by HSN

Foodblog (21 of 23)

We have been living on our back deck in the evening. We set up a bluetooth speaker, mix some drinks, set out some snacks and invite a handful of friends over to hang out. Other nights we have played Cards Against Humanity, and one time we even played hide and seek in the yard! It has become a weekly summer tradition that we look forward to. Last week our Thursday night theme was Margaritaville, inspired by the new HSN brand of entertaining wares sent to me to craft a blog post around.

HSN’s new Margaritaville brand includes island-inspired products in a bunch of different categories – from clothing to home decor to culinary. Since KERF revolves around real food, I picked out some beachy platters to help bring out the 5 o’clock somewhere state of mind : ) We prepared grilled shrimp skewers, tropical fruit and a bean and corn dip for our guests.

I chose these Sea Life Plates made of melamine so they’re great for outdoor parties –

These Leaf Serving Trays, which I love for serving!

And this Fins Up Shot Glass Tray –

Before filling the glasses with actual tequila for the brave and bold, we filled them with water and had Matt play a prank on people as they arrived as he took shot of shot of water in the corner of the kitchen. A few of our friends believed he was actually taking six shots of tequila at once!! I love the little spots for salt and limes.

We also made Spice-A-Ritas for the occasion!

A few weeks ago my friend Erin brought over this black bean and corn dip that was a HUGE hit! I knew it would make a great recipe for the blog, so I asked her for the base recipe and put my own spin on it.

The base is black beans and grilled corn (the more char the better – I had some grill issues with mine!) plus jalapenos, avocado, feta cheese, olive oil, vinegar and honey. Scoop it up with chips!

    Fun! Love those Sea Life plates – great choice, Kath! Out of curiosity, what was in the original corn and bean salad recipe that you amended?
    P.S. There’s still one “jalopeno typo” in the instructions section ; )

      It called for white sugar, no jalapenos, no avocado – it was just the basics with sugar. Still really good!!

        oh cool! the jalapenos and avocado are what makes me want to try this! Looks like a good adaptable recipe. I don’t have honey or white balsamic so I’m going to play around with the dressing myself.

    Looks so fun! Inspired to have friends over 🙂 On another note, trying to figure out what phone to get to replace my Samsung Galaxy 4. Can’t decide between a newer Samsung and the LG phone you’ve been using. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like a great outdoor party—Mexican never fails in he summer. Your food looks outstanding. I also love melamine and pick up pieces all the time. especially near the end of summer when it goes on sale. People love to be pampered. To help with clean up I keep a bin of soapy water next to the outdoor trash can or by the kitchen sink—they can soak overnight and clean up is a breeze in the morning. 🙂
