Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained

  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 cup red pepper, chopped

  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced finely

  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag regular

  • Fritos corn chips

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients except the corn chips.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix the corn chips in right before serving. Alternatively, you can serve the corn chips on the side.

Notes

  • Crunch Tip: Always add Fritos right before serving to keep them crispy. For gatherings, serve chips on the side.
    Make Ahead Friendly: The salad base can be made up to 24 hours in advance—just stir and add chips before serving.
    Cheese Swap: Sharp cheddar gives the best flavor, but Colby-Jack or Mexican blend works well too.
    Lighter Option: Use light mayonnaise or substitute half the mayo with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
    Add-Ins: Diced jalapeños, green onions, or a squeeze of lime juice add extra flavor.
    Serving Idea: Perfect as a BBQ side dish, potluck favorite, or picnic salad.
