Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ cup chopped pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • 2 cups Fritos corn chips

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, black beans, corn, tomatoes, scallions, cheddar, and jalapeños. Pour the dressing over the top and toss for about 1 minute until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Just before serving, add the Fritos and give one last quick toss. Serve immediately.

Notes

This salad is at its best right after you add the chips. If you are making it ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss everything except the Fritos together. Fold in the chips only when you are ready to serve. Leftovers keep for 2 days but the chips will soften, so add a handful of fresh Fritos on top to bring back the crunch.
