Frito Corn Salad is wonderfully creamy with lots of shredded cheddar cheese and crunchy, salty Frito corn chips. Great for summer potlucks and picnics!
Frito Corn Salad is something I find to be absolutely addicting. Seriously. If there is a bowl of this on the counter, I will not leave its side.
So wonderfully creamy with lots of shredded cheddar cheese and crunchy, salty Frito Corn Chips.
I used Chili Cheese-flavored Frito Chips but BBQ or Ranch flavored corn chips taste awesome as well.
If you love spicy food as much as I do, be sure to try this Jalapeno Popper Corn Frito Salad.
Quick and Easy To Make
Made with canned corn, Frito Corn Salad is a breeze to make and is a fan favorite at potlucks and picnics.
A combination of mayonnaise and sour cream makes it super creamy and some diced red onion gives it a little bite.
Make in Advance
It can be made in advance. Just remember to add the corn chips last thing or they will get soggy.
Or you can even serve them on the side and use them to scoop the corn salad as a dip. So good!!

Great crowd pleaser
Our whole family loves this. We did add about a half cup of fine chopped red and green pepper to add to the crunch and the colors gave it a holiday flare.
I have made this recipe several It is always a huge hit at potlucks. The worst part about it that there are never any left overs. 😊
I put jalapeños and tomatoes from my garden in the recipe plus cilantro yummy!
I had a warm dip that was very similar to this…could it be the same one ? It was delicious.
