I think this salad is A-Maize-Ing. My neighbors and husband loved it. I used fresh corn off the cob because it is in season. You can use the fritos to dip in the salad or out on top. Be sure to put the fritos on right before serving or they will be soggy. You could add a lot of things to this salad like bacon or black beans, but we decided not to mess with a good thing.

This was so so good! My husband ate it for lunch and dinner three days in a row. Probably not the lightest salad around, but next time I could sub some low-fat mayo to help that. It got better and better the longer it sat in the fridge (I left the crushed fritos separate). Will make again this summer!<br/><br/>Update: Made with low fat sour cream instead this time, just as delicious and lots less calories and fat!

After reading the reviews here, I made some changes. As it was for a potluck, and I didn't have chips on hand, I left out the chips. I doubled the recipe, using 4 cans of corn to being, drained and rinsed. I used 1/2 mayo, 1/2 sour cream. I added some cilantro, a bit of fresh lime juice, and a bit of garlic powder. I used red onion, and lots of green, yellow, and orange pepper because I had it on hand and to make the dish look more colorful and inviting. I also used a 4 cheese Mexican blend that I had on hand. I added about 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno peppers because I didn't have fresh on hand. A bit of salt and pepper to taste, and then I refrigerated it overnight. The next day, the flavors were amazing and nothing was left. What a great basic recipe that is now part of my collection. I will definitely be making it again.
