- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup mayo (can substitute light mayo)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Additional:

Instructions
- Main Salad: In a large mixing bowl, stir together corn, diced bell pepper, shredded cheese, mayo, and black pepper.

This salad is best served right after Fritos are added.
If making ahead, wait until right before serving to add Fritos. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- This salad is good for up to 3 – 4 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge, but the Fritos will get soggy the longer it sits.
- If you can’t find (or don’t like) Chili Cheese Fritos, plain Fritos corn chips will work.
