Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 16 oz corn
- 16 oz red bell peppers
- 1/2 purple onion
Dairy
- 1 lb cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Snacks
- 9 oz chili flavored Fritos
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Dice the red bell peppers and purple onion into small pieces. Grate the cheddar cheese using the larger side of a grater for a chunkier texture. Break up the chili Fritos into bite-sized pieces according to your preference.
- Arrange separately if storing: If serving later, keep all ingredients laid out separately without mixing to preserve freshness and texture. Add mayonnaise just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Toss and serve: When ready to eat, combine the corn, bell peppers, onion, cheddar cheese, and broken Fritos in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the best taste and crunch.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of chili powder.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Serve immediately after mixing to keep the Fritos crunchy.
- Use fresh corn or canned corn drained well for convenience.
- This salad is best eaten the same day it is prepared for optimal texture.
