MAKING CORN CHIP SALAD
Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, follow the steps below for a quick and easy summertime side dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk Miracle Whip, sour cream, apple cider vinegar together, parsley, sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper together.

TIPS FOR MAKING FRITO CORN SALAD
- For a little more spice, add jalapeños or green or red bell peppers to the salad.
- Try using other Fritos flavors such as chili cheese or barbecue for a different taste!
- Make sure to not add the Fritos until you’re ready to serve. This prevents the chips from getting soggy and maintains that delicious crunch!
CAN I MAKE CORN SALAD AHEAD OF TIME?
This recipe is perfect for making 1-2 days ahead of time and storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just add the Fritos right before serving!
WHAT OTHER INGREDIENTS COULD I ADD TO THE SALAD?
Some common add-ins for this Frito salad recipe include black beans, shredded chicken, parsley, cilantro, peppers, taco seasoning, and/or cheese.
If you do want to add cheese, cheddar, Mexican cheese, Monterey jack, or pepper jack are all great options!
WHAT KIND OF CORN WILL TASTE BEST IN THIS SALAD?
Everyone will have different preferences for what corn they like to use. If you don’t want to use canned corn for this salad, feel free to use frozen or fresh corn straight off the cob.
If you are using frozen corn, just be sure to let it thaw before using.
HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER FRITOS CORN SALAD
Don't try and freeze this salad. Between the Fritos and the mayo, it's just not a great idea.😉
Storing leftovers of this salad can be a little tricky. I guess it comes down to whether or not you can put up with soggy Fritos.
Bottom line, the leftovers won't be as good as the fresh salad. To try to add a bit more crunch back in, sprinkle some additional crushed Fritos on top before enjoying.
