“CAbi” Corn Dip

Super-simple corn dip made with 5 easy ingredients. We call this “CAbi” corn dip because it is a favorite appetizer at CAbi clothing parties that I like to host with my friends. It was requested and gobbled up over and over again, and became known as “CAbi Corn Dip!” It comes together so easily, and is a healthy hit for any gathering!
