Description

Sweet corn, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and ranch come together in this ultra-creamy, addictive salad—perfect for BBQs, potlucks, and parties.


Ingredients

4 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed from frozen)

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Optional Add-ins:

1/4 cup chopped jalapeños

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper


Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth.

Add corn, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.

If using, fold in jalapeños or red bell pepper for added flavor and texture.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.

Stir before serving and garnish with extra bacon or green onions if desired. Serve chilled.

 

Notes

Use grilled corn for extra smoky flavor.

Lighten it up by using half Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.

Best served the same day, but leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge.

Makes a great dip with tortilla chips too!

Easily doubled for large gatherings.
