Here’s a Southern spin on the ever-popular layered Mexican dip. It incorporates fresh summer produce with a rich, creamy layer that combines cream cheese, yogurt, scallions, roasted red peppers, and seasoning. Use fresh corn instead of frozen if it is in season. You can prepare this dip in a single layer in a ceramic baking dish or, if you would really like to show off the layers, divide the ingredients between two layers in a smaller, deeper clear bowl. The bacon and green scallions provide a salty, pretty finish to this appetizer. Serve with a variety of fresh vegetables or baked tortilla chips.
