A vibrant and flavorful corn salad with a zesty twist, perfect for gatherings or as a side dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, sharp cheddar cheese, diced green bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly diced for a consistent texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and ground cumin until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the lime juice or cumin to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad base and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the salad for a delightful crunch.
Add the chips right before serving to keep them crispy.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its vibrant flavors and textures.
Garnish with a sprig of cilantro for a fresh touch.
