So when the time came to infuse those flavors into a tangy yogurt dip, we got to thinking: why not add the corn and season it, too? Boldly flavored with garlic, Parmesan, and chipotle pepper powder, and featuring toothsome kernels of sweet yellow corn, Trader Joe’s Everything And The Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip truly lets shoppers have it all.

Trader Joe’s also wisely notes it also works well as a spread, especially on sandwiches and wraps that already have a spicy element.
