Instructions

If using fresh corn, cook it until tender, then slice the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply thaw it and drain any excess water.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn with the diced red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro (if using).
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
If desired, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top for an added savory crunch.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Stir the salad again before serving and enjoy!

Notes

Can be made ahead of time and chilled overnight for better flavor.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Feel free to customize the salad with different vegetables, herbs, or add-ins like cheese or jalapeños.
