I created this recipe for a wedding I was catering, and it's a good thing I made buckets of it, because I couldn't stop eating it! This chilled creamy salad combines all the best flavors of jalapeno poppers with the delicate sweetness of fresh corn. —Amanda Miller, Hutchinson, Kansas

Test Kitchen tips

Since the grill is fired up anyway, consider grilling the corn instead of boiling or steaming it.

To make a lower-fat version, use thick plain yogurt instead of the sour cream, and use reduced-fat mayo and cream cheese.

If spiciness isn't your thing, substitute Swiss cheese for the pepper jack.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
