Pour the fat-free ranch dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. The salad can be made up to 8 hours ahead.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocer—corn, tomato, bell pepper, celery, onion, and fat-free ranch dressing are standard finds at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI. At roughly $8 to $10 for six servings, the cost per person hovers near $1.50, making this genuinely budget-friendly for a side or light lunch. The stated 15 minutes is honest if corn is canned or thawed; fresh ears would add chopping time and push closer to 20–25 minutes total. This is a no-fuss side that reheats fine and suits any weeknight, though it lacks the depth that fresh herbs or a homemade dressing would bring, and fat-free ranch plays safe rather than bold.
