Egg Salad Corn Dip
This delightful corn dip recipe comes from Leah, who holds it close to her heart as a cherished connection to her beloved Nana's culinary legacy. This unique take on egg salad represents more than just a dish - it's her way of keeping her grandmother's memory and spirit alive in her kitchen. While staying true to her Nana's original recipe, Leah has thoughtfully incorporated contemporary elements like charred corn and Mexican-inspired seasonings that she knows her grandmother would have embraced with enthusiasm. She hopes this special corn dip brings the same warmth and joy to your family gatherings as it continues to bring to hers. Each spoonful serves as a loving tribute to her Nana's wisdom, warmth, and firmly-held belief that meals taste infinitely better when shared with others!
