Surprisingly good! The chili cheese corn
chips provide all the seasoning needed! It's a great salad to
take to potlucks where you're sure to be asked for the recipe...because
that's what I did! Thanks, Sonja for sharing this tasty recipe
with me.
Chili Corn Crunch
Salad
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen white or yellow
corn niblets
1/2 cup diced red onion*
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red or orange bell pepper
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 (9.7-ounce) bag chili cheese flavored corn chips, coarsely
crushed
- Place frozen corn in a colander and run
cold water over to thaw. Set aside to drain well.
- Meanwhile prepare onion and peppers.
- In a large bowl, stir together the drained
corn, onion, peppers with the mayonnaise. (At this point chill
salad until ready to serve or proceed with the next step.)
- Add the crushed corn chips to corn salad
mixture and gently stir to combine. Serve immediately.
Makes 16 servings.
*Cook's Tip: One of my favorite tips for
raw onions. First soak the chopped onion in ice-cold water for
about 15 minutes and then drain well prior to adding to the salad.
The process removes that particularly "undesirable"
taste in raw onion.
