Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans sweet corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel, drained
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (9.25-ounce) bag Fritos

Dressing Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated to create a creamy dressing.
  2. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the drained sweet corn, black beans, Rotel, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Add Dressing to Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently stir to combine everything evenly.
  4. Add Fritos Before Serving: Just before serving, add the Fritos to the salad. Fold them in carefully to avoid breaking the chips and to maintain their crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Add the Fritos just before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with a cheese of your choice or use a dairy-free alternative for a different flavor profile.
  • For extra freshness, consider adding chopped cilantro or green onions.
  • Make sure to drain canned ingredients well to avoid a soggy salad.
  • This salad can be served as a side dish or a light main course during warmer months.
