Southwest Corn and Walnut Dip

This recipe is from my cousin. It sounds a bit weird, but it is oh so good and very different!

Ingredients:

2-8 oz. packages of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/8 cup fresh lime juice (the original recipe called for 1/4 cup, but I thought it was too tart and used less)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (depending on your taste)
Dash black pepper

Drained 8 1/2 oz. can corn
1 1/2 cups chopped Walnuts

Directions:

Beat all of the above ingredients on low until smooth. Stir in one 8 1/2 oz. can corn (drained) and 1 1/12 cups chopped walnuts.

It is better made the day before so all the flavors have a chance to blend. You can add more spices, lime juice, walnuts or corn to suit your taste.
