Ranch Recipe #2 Corn Salad

I have officially given this recipe

a

Ranch Recipe

designation.

This dish may not have been ‘there’,

(‘there’ defined as my parents’ patio,

under a grapevine arbor my father welded

out of pipe,

covered in lush grapevine to ward

off the hot South Texas sun,

or as a delicious by-product of my mother’s kitchen,

during the 60’s and 70’s),

but it could have been.

It would have fit in perfectly.

High praise indeed.

Side dishes on my mother’s menu

had to have a little sass,

a la Jalapeno Cheese Rice,

and the ability to stand up to

steak.

Corn Salad

My Mother's recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cans whole kernel corn - drained
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 finely chopped red onion
• chopped red pepper
• chopped green pepper
• medium size bag chili cheese Fritos

Instructions

Mix together and serve with chili cheese fritos

To set the stage even further,

follow the entertaining doctrine of my parents:

1.  If you take a bottle to someone’s house, leave it.

2.  Offer to bring something, but know you

will graciously be told ‘no thank you’.

Besides.. you will have your turn to shine in the kitchen for the next get-together soon enough.

3.  Allow your children to run around and play in the yard and fall asleep

in the back seat on the drive home.

4.  Play great music on the stereo.

5.  Walk people to their car when your guests begin to leave.

Enjoy!
