- 100g mayonnaise
- 1/2 red bell pepper

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by gathering all the ingredients needed to make this delicious corn salad!
Step 2
Using a variety of colorful vegetables will make your salad look even more appetizing. Feel free to substitute with any vegetables you have on hand.
Step 3
Wash the red and yellow bell peppers thoroughly.
Step 4
Inside the bell peppers, you’ll find white membranes and seeds.
Step 5
Carefully remove these with a knife. Also, trim off the stems for a neater appearance.
Step 6
Wash the carrot and cucumber under cold running water.
Step 7
Trim off a small bit from both ends of the vegetables. If you’re using unwashed carrots, it’s best to peel them thinly with a vegetable peeler before trimming the ends.
Step 8
To reduce its pungency, finely chop the onion and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes. Then, drain it thoroughly. Dice the bell peppers, carrot, and cucumber into small pieces, similar in size to the corn kernels. This preparation makes the salad visually appealing.
Step 9
Now, let’s prepare the canned sweet corn (500g).
Step 10
Drain the corn well using a sieve. The plump corn kernels already look juicy and delicious!
Step 11
Transfer the drained corn kernels into a large mixing bowl.
Step 12
Add the drained onion, which has had its pungency reduced by soaking in water, to the bowl with the corn.
Step 13
Now, add all the finely diced colorful vegetables: bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber.
Step 14
Add 100g of mayonnaise for a creamy richness.
Step 15
To add a touch of tartness, mix in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and for sweetness, add 30ml of condensed milk.
Step 16
Finally, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. You can substitute lemon juice with vinegar or condensed milk with sugar if needed, but using lemon juice and condensed milk will create a particularly delicious corn salad, so it’s highly recommended!
Step 17
Once all the ingredients are in the bowl, gently mix everything together with a spoon until well combined, being careful not to mash the vegetables. Your incredibly simple yet delicious corn salad is now complete!
Step 18
The refreshing crunch of the various vegetables combined with the popping corn kernels creates a wonderfully tasty salad.
Step 19
The combination of creamy mayonnaise, zesty lemon juice, and sweet condensed milk results in a unique and delightful flavor that everyone will enjoy. It’s perfect as a kids’ snack or even as an impressive dish for guests!
