Salad Ingredients
- 150g canned corn, drained
- 30g red bell pepper, finely diced
- 40g onion, finely diced
Dressing Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (or 1/2 Tbsp vinegar)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (or 1/2 Tbsp vinegar)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn thoroughly using a sieve. Finely dice the bell pepper and onion. For the onion, soaking it in cold water for about 5 minutes will help reduce its pungency, making it even crispier and more delicious.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, finely diced bell pepper, and the drained diced onion.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing. Add 3 generous tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk to the mayonnaise for a touch of sweetness. Finally, add 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice for a refreshing zest. If you don’t have lemon juice, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vinegar for a great flavor.
Step 5
Pour all the prepared dressing ingredients over the salad components and mix well. Toss until the corn and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. This salad is a fantastic accompaniment that pairs exceptionally well with freshly baked bread or crispy fried chicken, making it a satisfying part of any meal.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes for a visually appealing garnish. This ‘magic salad’ is wonderfully tangy and sweet, with a delightful crunch from the onions. Once you taste it, you won’t be able to stop! Enjoy your delicious creation.
