Super easy corn salad that will surprise you!

Simple Corn Salad from Cosmopolitan Cornbread

Sometimes you come across a recipe that is so simple, or the ingredients are so odd, that you simply dismiss it with no intention of ever making it. Well, this would be one of those recipes, had I not tasted it before ever laying eyes on the recipe.

Last summer I was at a friend’s for a barbecue, and this salad was there. I loved it and so did my husband. I asked the lady who brought it for the recipe and when I looked at it, my reaction was – “Really?” Yep. Really!

How to Make Corn Salad

To begin, drain three 15 ounce cans of whole kernel corn.

Finely dice half of a red bell pepper.

Finely dice half a cup of red onion.

And you’ll need 1 cup of mayonnaise.

Combine those and a teaspoon of pepper and half teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

Shred a cup of sharp cheddar cheese.

Add it to the bowl.

Add in your drained corn and stir it all together until combined.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. When you are ready to serve it, you can optionally top it with some crushed corn chips (like Fritos). That is how the lady made it, but I’m not a fan of corn chips in my food.

That’s it!

  1. I asked Wegmans grocery store here in our area if Organic means GMO free and they said no. I get violently ill from GMO food and so does my husband. Almost all corn now is GMO even if it says Organic. I was so disappointed for we love, love corn and chips…..and fresh corn in summer.
