This is a great summertime salad – like a standard corn salad but with the added crunch of Fritos. This can be served as a side dish or a dip served with tortilla chips. It could also add a ton of flavor as a topping to hot dogs, burgers or tacos.
Ingredient Options – Recipe Tips:
- Grilled corn cut from the cob or Frozen corn (thawed and drained) can be used instead of canned corn.
- Substitute the chilies with diced jalapeños for a spicy version or add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
- Feel free to add more cheese and/or Fritos.
- I like to add fresh chopped cilantro to my salad.
- Add the Fritos right before serving so they stay crisp. If preparing ahead, store the mixture covered then add the Fritos just before serving.
- If using canned or frozen corn be sure to remove all excess liquid to prevent a watery salad.
