Ingredients

  • 2 1 lb packages frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small poblano pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup small diced red onion
  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 9 oz package classic Fritos (for the salad)
  • 1-2 10 oz packages Fritos Scoops for serving
  • jalapeno slices or cilantro for garnishing

Instructions

  • Steam the corn per the package directions in the microwave. Cool slightly.
  • While the corn cools dice the poblano pepper, red pepper and red onion.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, onion powder and cumin until fully combined.
  • To the bowl add corn, poblano pepper, red pepper, red onion and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix to evenly distribute, then cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Just before serving roughly crush the fritos and mix into the salad. (The fritos shouldn't be finely crushed, large whole pieces work!)
  • Serve immediately with Fritos Scoops for dipping or as a side dish salad.
