Today is National Corn Chip Day, so here I am with a recipe featuring corn chips!
This is an excellent side dish. I served it alongside taco salads, so it was great as a side OR a salad topping - so delish!
The salad is a mayonnaise-based corn salad with a few other veggies and great spices…then just before serving, chili cheese frito corn chips are added to add crunch and even more flavor! It’s a crowd pleaser for sure.

ReplyDeleteI often add chips to a sandwich for extra crunch so I know I would love the chili cheese Fritos added to a salad. Great idea, Amy!
ReplyDeleteWith my 3 favourites, cheese, corn and corn chips this salad is a winner. Must try it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, Amy. I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love this salad. I can sit and eat the whole dang thing -- but of course I don't -- however, I could! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love this as a side at a bbq.
