Isn’t it fun when you leave your comfort zone of your home, town, family circle even state and find something new. We recently went to my husband’s niece’s wedding. We haven’t really seen her since she was a young teenager so we were not familiar with her tastes or interests. At the luncheon they served a “Corn Salad” something I had never tasted let alone ever heard of. It was very good. But as usual John and I had to come home and do our own thing to it. So here it is “Fresh Corn Salad”.
4 medium ears sweet corn, cooked and cut off the cob
1/2 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1/2 cup red pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup green pepper, finely diced
1 tbsp fine chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp lime juice
1 cup mayonnaise
fresh ground pepper to taste
pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded or diced medium cheddar cheese
1/2 9 3/4 oz bag of Fritos Chili Cheese Corn Chips
Stir together all of the ingredients except the corn chips. Refrigerate until served. Add chips just before serving as to keep their crispness.
Great new taste for your next family picnic, at least it was for us.

Ahh- the corn chips! I haven’t had those in years!
We buy corn chips all the time but not Frito’s. Now we are hooked again after many years. Thank you for stopping by.

Oooo, I want this for my lunch! I love anything with corn chips in it. This is definitely going to be a hit at my house. Although, I might just keep it all to myself. It looks amazing!

Watch out it could be habit forming. Make a big batch and dig in.

It’s really a sneaky way to get vegetables in your family. Hide them behind Frito’s.

This totally looks like my husabnd’s kind of salad. He’d love the corn chips!

It is definitely my husband’s kind of salad. He loves it. It was his idea to us the fresh corn. Smart huh? Come see us again soon.

What an unusual corn salad that looks very healthy and delicious! This would be perfect as a side dish at a summer BBQ
