    Why You Will Love Frito Corn Salad

    Saw this recipe being made quite few times this week on Tiktok so I thought I’d try it. This recipe is currently going viral but it has been around for quite some time so it’s nothing new.

    It’s great to take to a BBQ or 4th of July party this Summer. Even though the 4th of July has passed there is still time to make this! I’d just add the Frito chips last and mix them in whenever dinner is being served.

    I added some chopped fresh cilantro, and used ½ mayo and ½ Greek yogurt instead of the 1 cup of mayo the recipe calls for.

    Ingredients Needed for Frito Corn Salad

    • Cans whole kernel corn, drained - Canned corn Some people prefer fresh or frozen corn for its taste and texture. Use whatever you like.
    • Grated cheddar cheese - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe.
    • Mayonnaise - I used ½ mayo and ½ cup Greek yogurt
    • 1 cup green pepper, chopped - red or green peppers are fine
    • 1⁄2 cup red onion, chopped - this is optional, I used fresh cilantro instead of red onion
    • 1 (10 ½ ounce) bag coarsely crushed Fritos chili cheese corn chips
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    What can I serve with Frito Corn Salad?

    Corn salad is a versatile and refreshing dish that pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a great accompaniment for numerous meals.

    • Grilled Meats and Seafood Corn salad complements grilled meats! Whether you choose to serve it with these juicy Steak on Blackstone, Blackstone Chicken , or PPork Chops on Blackstone, the fresh and slightly sweet flavors of the corn salad will enhance the savory richness of the grilled meats. You can also consider grilled seafood such as shrimp or salmon for a lighter option.
    • Tacos and Fajitas: Corn salad can add a delightful crunch and burst of flavor to your taco or fajita spread. Serve it alongside traditional fillings like seasoned ground beef, grilled chicken, or sautéed vegetables. The corn salad can also be used as a topping to add extra texture and freshness to your tacos or fajitas.
    • Barbecue Dishes: Corn salad is an excellent side dish for any barbecue meal. It pairs wonderfully with classic barbecue items like Smoking BBQ Ribs for Beginners, Blackstone Hot Dogs with Grilling Instructions, pulled pork, and smoked sausages. The crisp, cool nature of the salad provides a nice contrast to the smoky, rich flavors of barbecue, making it a crowd-pleasing combination.

    Additionally, you can serve corn salad with other side dishes like coleslaw, baked beans, or a fresh green salad to create a diverse and satisfying meal. By combining these elements, you can ensure your guests enjoy a delicious, balanced, and flavorful dining experience.
