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!!

I am a fan of your recipes. Can I buy a hard copy cookbook?
Thx4alludo.
Is it possible to use either fresh or frozen corn instead of canned corn?
Yes you can use frozen !! That is what I use don’t like canned corn
I tripled the recipe but used half the onion called for and topped with BBQ Fritos. It was so easy to make and a big hit at pot luck sports banquet. It was definitely salty with lots of flavor from the BBQ Fritos. I think I will try regular Fritos next time.
Our family has been making this for years except we use ranch dressing instead of the mayo and sour cream and we had bacon bits! Yum!
Can this be made a day ahead?
Yes, but don’t add the Frito chips until just before serving.
I sprinkled white pepper, season all and a couple tsps of chili seasoning mix.. Used spring onions.. Turned out awesome! Thanks

Amazing. I used Chili Cheese Fritos – YUM!
I only used half the onion, but added a small can of diced green chiles; also subbed in a mexican blend cheese instead of cheddar. It turned out amazing!
I made this for a Memorial Day cookout and it was a hit. Thank you for sharing!!
