Notes

  1. Our family loves this corn salad without the cheddar cheese, it is refreshing and light for a side with any main dish or as a take along to any party, picnic, or family party.
  2. Traditionally the cheddar cheese is added, it is up to you, whatever you like.
  3. If making ahead of time, do not add the Frito’s until just serving as they will get soggy.
