Gather the Fresh Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients. Fresh sweet corn is key here; whether you’re using canned or frozen, it’s vital to ensure it’s sweet and juicy. Dice up that vibrant red bell pepper for a pop of color.
Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, add your mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) alongside a dash of black pepper. This will serve as the creamy base.
Combine the Corn and Veggies: Next, add the 3 cups of fresh sweet corn and 1 cup of diced red bell pepper to the bowl. The colors alone will make you smile!
Mix in the Cheese: Now it’s time to fold in the 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. This not only adds flavor but also creaminess to the mix.
Crush Those Fritos: For the final touch, take your 2 cups of Chili Cheese Fritos and crush them into smaller pieces. You want to keep some texture for that crunch factor! Add them to the bowl but save a few for sprinkling on top.
Give It a Gentle Toss: Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is coated well in the dressing. Don’t overmix; we want to keep that fun crunch!
Serve & Enjoy: Transfer your beautiful corn salad to a serving bowl, and for an extra crunch, sprinkle the remaining Fritos on top. Dig in immediately or refrigerate for about half an hour to let the flavors meld.

If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well before using. For a vegan version, use plant-based mayonnaise and cheese.
