Avocado basil dip

Preparation
Spicy corn fritter
In a food processor, add green onion and 1 cup of corn and process until smooth. We recommend using non-frozen corn to maximize flavors.
To the food processor mixture, add the last 1 cup of corn and corn meal, then pulse to roughly mix. Place mixture in a mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and spices, and mix with a spatula.
Fry with preferred cooking oil for 5 minutes on each side on medium-low heat or until golden brown. Feel free to also try baking them for an oil-free alternative.

Avocado basil dip
Place all ingredients in a food processor. The olive oil is optional for those who desire an oil-free dip.
