Today, I’ll show you how to make that very KFC-style corn salad, incredibly easily and simply. Enjoy this delightful salad that will whet your appetite, perfect for special occasions or just everyday meals!
Main Ingredients- 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained
- 1/4 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
KFC’s Secret Dressing- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the bell peppers, which will add color and flavor to your corn salad. Take 1/4 of a red bell pepper and 1/4 of a yellow bell pepper. Dice them into very small, uniform pieces. Cutting them this small ensures they blend well with the corn and provide a pleasant texture when eaten.
Step 2
Now, let’s get the star ingredient ready: the canned corn. Open the can and pour the corn kernels into a sieve to drain them thoroughly. It’s crucial to remove as much liquid as possible; excess water can make the salad watery and dilute its flavor.
Step 3
Time to mix everything and create that delicious dressing! Place the drained corn and the finely diced bell peppers into a mixing bowl. Now, add the key ingredients for that signature KFC corn salad taste: 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 2 tablespoons of sugar for that perfect sweet and tangy balance. Finish with a small pinch of black pepper to enhance the aroma.
Step 4
Add all the ingredients and mix gently until everything is well combined. Just like that, you’ve created the authentic KFC-style corn salad! It’s incredibly simple, isn’t it? You don’t need any special equipment or advanced culinary skills to make this delicious dish.
Step 5
And now, it’s time to enjoy your homemade corn salad! Take a spoonful, and you’ll experience the sweet and savory corn kernels bursting with flavor in your mouth. The tangy dressing perfectly complements them, creating an irresistible taste. You’ll be amazed at how closely it resembles the corn salad you’ve enjoyed at KFC! While corn salads with cheese are also delicious, this simpler version offers a uniquely delightful flavor that I highly recommend. Serve it alongside your favorite fried chicken or burgers for an even more satisfying meal!
