❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This delicious corn salad is super easy to make and will be a winner at your next potluck. Only a few ingredients and takes no time to throw together. We love this salad made with Chili Cheese Fritos. We think it gives it a great flavor and you won’t need any extra seasonings.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Whole kernel sweet corn
  • Sweet peppers (red, green or yellow, whichever you prefer)
  • Red onion
  • Tomatoes
  • Shredded cheese (I used colby/monterey jack mix)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Chili Cheese Fritos
  • Cilantro (optional)

SWAPS

If you like different types of corn you can switch it up in this recipe. You can use a can of sweet corn and a can of the summer crisp or white corn. You can also leave out the cilantro, it’s optional.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

That is what is so great about these easy summer salads, the hardest part is chopping up the vegetables! This salad can be made in less than 10 minutes which is one of the many reasons why we love it.

Step 1
Mix all ingredients except for Fritos and chill for a few hours. Add Fritos at time of serving and mix well and serve.

⭐TIP

Top the corn salad with the Fritos right before serving and stir into the corn. I believe it’s best this way and others agree. The crunch of the Fritos is a great addition to this salad!
