Summertime is all about family gatherings, neighborhood barbecues, and picnics in the sun. Plain and simple, this is the time to gather together and enjoy delicious food, and one of those dishes is almost always a cold salad.

Think about it, how many summer get-togethers have you been a part of where there was always a large bowl of amazing potato, egg, or corn salad? It seems to be the unofficial side dish of summertime dining! We just love it, especially in the hot summer months.

It’s this love for cold, creamy salads that led to our post today. We took all the delicious tastes of our Freeze Dried Sweet Corn, Dehydrated Celery, Dehydrated Onion, Freeze Dried Bell Peppers, and Freeze Dried Cheddar Cheese, and combined them with the flavor and texture of Chili Cheese Corn Chips to create an amazing, over-the-top corn salad that is sure to be a hit at your next summer gathering. Plus, it’s so simple to make! Grab a mixing spoon, it’s time to whip up some Chili Corn Salad!
