Notes
- Crunchy Salad. Stir in crushed corn chips just before serving, so it doesn’t get soggy. Add some larger corn chips to the top of the salad.
- Southwest Corn. If you can’t find any southwest corn, just use 2 cans of corn and add some diced green and red pepper to the dish.
- Drain. Ensure the corn is drained well, so the salad isn’t watery.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
