Ingredients

3 Cans of Corn drained
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Fresh Lime Squeezed
1 Jalapeño diced
1/2 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 Cup Ranch
8 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 Cup Green Onion
1 teaspoon Onion Power
Salt & Pepper to Taste
12 Pieces Cooked Bacon sliced

Instructions

Start by cooking your bacon in the oven or in a skillet on the stove. Take your cooked bacon and place on a paper towel. Then chop up into small pieces.
Now in a bowl you will add your canned corn, diced jalapenos, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, sour cream, mayo, ranch, and shredded cheese.
Mix well and then drizzle with fresh lime juice and bacon. You can leave some bacon out to sprinkle on right before serving if you want.
Store the corn salad in the refrigerator covered. When you are ready to serve it up, toss and dish up the easy corn salad.

Notes

You can use frozen corn, canned corn, or even fresh corn on the cob. Creamed corn does not work well for this recipe.

Swap the sour cream with Greek plain yogurt if you would like.

For the jalapeno you can de-seed the pepper to reduce the heat. Or leave the jalapeno out if you do not like spice.

I used shredded cheddar but feel free to use any type of cheese you want. Pepper jack, sharp, etc.

The bacon can be left out if you a vegetarian side dish.
