Frito Corn Salad

This Easy Frito Corn Salad Recipe is the perfect side dish for summer cookouts and backyard barbecues. With its creamy dressing, colorful vegetables, and crunchy Fritos, it’s sure to be a hit! We used our creamy Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese, but if you want an extra kick, try our spicy Jalapeno Cheddar!

Ingredients

• 2 (15-ounce) cans sweet corn, drained
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
• 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel, drained
• 1 bell pepper, diced (red, green, or yellow)
• 1 cup Dan and Debbie’s Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 1 (9.25-ounce) bag Fritos

Dressing

• ⅔ cup sour cream
• 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients in the dressing list.
• Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
• In a large bowl, combine corn, beans, Rotel, bell pepper, and cheese.
• Top the salad with the homemade dressing.
• Gently stir to combine the salad and dressing mixture, then add the Fritos just before serving.
• Fold the Fritos into the salad mixture to avoid breaking them. Do this just before serving the salad to maintain the Fritos crunchy texture.
