Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss together corn kernels, cheddar cheese, green pepper, and red onion until evenly mixed.

  • Just before serving, top the salad with Fritos for maximum crunch.

Notes

For best texture, add Fritos just before serving. Use fresh corn instead of canned for a fresher taste. Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter version. Store Fritos separately if refrigerating leftovers.
