Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
  • 1 cup Fritos corn chips Add just before serving for maximum crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, red onion, and cheddar cheese.
  2. Add mayonnaise and lime juice. Mix well until everything is coated.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Just before serving, fold in the Fritos corn chips for that extra crunch.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days. For a vegan variation, use plant-based mayo and skip the cheddar cheese, adding sliced black olives or avocado for texture.
