Creamy Corn Salad
Wednesday, August 20, 2025
“This creamy corn salad is one saucy little addiction.”
You know me I love my sides and one can never have too many side dish
recipes. If you’ve ever been to Nando’s, you’ll know their creamy corn salad
is dangerously good - one of my absolute favourite sides (okay, tied with
the sweet potato chips, Casa Pap topped with tomato relish, let’s be
honest).
So when my sister came to visit, I made sure she tried it, and not long after
she was back home, I got a message: “Any chance you can figure out how to
make that creamy corn thing from Nando’s?” No pressure, right? But challenge
accepted!
So here it is: my Nando's inspired Creamy Corn Salad. I kept it super simple, using two Nando’s sauces
for that signature flavour. It’s creamy, zesty, and definitely a
crowd-pleasing side dish. Can’t get hold of Nando’s sauces where you live?
No worries, just swap in your favourite garlic sauce, peri-peri hot sauce
and mayo, and you’re good to go.
This salad pairs brilliantly with grilled chicken, stuffed into wraps or pitas, or served as a side at a braai or BBQ. It’ll keep for up two weeks in an airtight container in the fridge, though honestly, I doubt it’ll last past day two. If you haven’t seen my previous recipe, click here and check it out! If you loved my Mexican Corn Salad with Mexican Crema, you’re going to be all heart-eyes over this creamy version too.
