  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can Fiesta corn, drained
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese, grated

Topping

  • 1 (9.75-ounce) bag BBQ or Chili Cheese Flavored Corn Chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Corn: Place the drained whole kernel corn and Fiesta corn into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Creamy Ingredients: Stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  3. Mix in Vegetables and Cheese: Add the finely diced red onion and grated cheddar cheese, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Serve with Corn Chips: Just before serving, sprinkle the BBQ or chili cheese flavored corn chips on top to add a crunchy texture.

Notes

  • For best texture, add the corn chips right before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
  • Adjust the amount of onion based on your preference to balance the sharpness.
  • If you prefer, add a splash of lime juice for extra zest and freshness.
  • This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.
