Ingredients

Scale

4 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed (or fresh cooked corn kernels) 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

1. Thaw frozen corn completely and drain any excess liquid. Cook bacon until crisp and crumble. Shred cheddar, chop green onions and parsley. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine corn, bacon, cheese, green onions, and parsley. Pour dressing over and toss until evenly coated. 4. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

• Use fresh summer corn for extra sweetness when in season. • Substitute half of the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. • Let bacon cool before adding so it stays crispy. • Chill before serving for the best flavor and texture.
