Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 16 oz corn (fresh or canned, drained)
- 16 oz red bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 purple onion, diced
Dairy
- 1 lb cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Snacks
- 9 oz chili Fritos, broken into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and cheese. Dice the red bell peppers and purple onion into small uniform pieces. Grate the cheddar cheese using the larger side of a grater for a nice texture.
- Break the Fritos. Gently break the chili Fritos into your preferred bite-sized chunks, keeping them large enough to add crunch but small enough to mix well into the salad.
- Assemble or store separately. If serving immediately, gently toss the corn, diced vegetables, grated cheese, and Fritos together. If preparing in advance, keep all ingredients separated and only mix with mayonnaise when ready to serve to maintain crispness.
- Add mayonnaise and serve. Add mayonnaise just before serving and toss to coat the ingredients evenly for a creamy, crunchy salad experience.
Notes
- For the best crunch, add mayonnaise and Fritos just before serving.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with a sharper or milder cheese to adjust flavor.
- This salad can be served chilled or at room temperature.
- Add chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for extra freshness.
- Using canned corn is convenient but fresh corn will enhance flavor and texture.
