Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • If using frozen corn, thaw in a colander so excess moisture drains away; this keeps the dressing creamy.
  • There are about 12 other Frito flavors you can try, but one kind of Fritos you don’t want are soggy Fritos. To avoid this, don't add the chips until right before serving.
  • Extra mix-ins you can try include black beans, red onions or green onions, sliced olives, and halved cherry tomatoes, or add heat with diced jalapeños.
Make ahead. Stir everything together, except the chips, up to 1 to 2 days in advance; store covered in the fridge.
Keep leftovers, covered, in the fridge for 2-3 days. The Fritos will get soft, but you can just add a few fresh ones for more crunch.
