KFC-Style Corn Salad
Sweet Corn Can Salad: Simple Side Dish Recipe Inspired by KFC
The corn salad at KFC is delicious but often comes in small portions. This recipe lets you recreate that delightful flavor at home, making a generous batch to enjoy!
Main Ingredients- 1 can Sweet Corn (drained)
- 1/2 Onion
- 1/2 Bell Pepper (any color)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the supporting vegetables. Finely dice the half onion and half bell pepper into small pieces, roughly the size of the corn kernels. This ensures a pleasant texture in every bite. Next, open the can of sweet corn and drain all the liquid thoroughly using a sieve. Properly draining the corn is key to preventing a watery salad and achieving the best flavor and consistency.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Add the dressing ingredients: 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Gently mix everything together using a spoon or spatula until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the corn kernels or vegetables; mix just until well combined. Your delicious corn salad is now almost ready!
Step 3
For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a small pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste. Mix well after seasoning. The salad can be enjoyed immediately, but chilling it in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes will enhance the flavors and make it even more refreshing. This corn salad is a fantastic side dish, perfect for picnics, potlucks, or as a creamy accompaniment to your meals. It’s also great as a sandwich filling or spread!
