how to make toasted walnut and corn dip

Set out cream cheese to soften a bit.

Toast the walnuts in a skillet on stove until lightly browned and you smell a nice nutty aroma!

In mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

**** You can add a half teaspoon more of Cayenne pepper if you like more of a kick! ****

Stir in corn, walnuts and onion.

Refrigerate until serving and the flavors have time to combine and be happy.

Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, pitas or veggies. Enjoy!!!
