Think outside the box and mix the chips into this summery Frito corn salad.

## Ingredients (serves 10)

- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.1 teaspoon salt
- 0.1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 package (9-1/4 ounces) chili cheese-flavored corn chips, crushed
- Minced fresh cilantro, optional
- 2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained

## Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, shredded Mexican cheese, chopped red pepper, mayonnaise, salt and pepper
2. Cover the bowl with storage wrap and chill the salad until you're ready to serve it (don't add the corn chips yet, as they'll soften and become mushy)
3. Just before serving, stir in the crushed corn chips
4. Transfer the corn salad to a pretty serving bowl
5. If desired, sprinkle the salad with cilantro

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No chili cheese corn chips? Use plain Fritos or another corn chip and add a pinch of chili powder.
- No Mexican cheese blend? Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack works in its place.

### Making it ahead

Mix the corn, cheese, red pepper, mayonnaise, salt and pepper up to a day ahead and chill; stir in the corn chips just before serving.
