Have you ever had Mexican Street Corn Salad? It’s absolutely amazing, and if you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you go out and try it or make it yourself right at home. I was always a little skeptical about it at first. My husband would always try to get me to taste it and I just wasn’t budging. I mean, mayonnaise on corn? That just didn’t sound right to me haha. Now that I’ve had it I don’t understand why I waited so long to try it… don’t be like me and miss out!
This Mexican Street Corn Salad is a creamy, crunchy and tasty salad all in one. It can easily feed a group of people or works perfectly fine with for your family! I love this dish because it can be also used as a dip. Toasted corn kernels mixed with Cotija cheese, mayonnaise, a bit of jalapenos, and fresh cilantro. This is recipe is perfect for parties or pairing with grilled meats!
If you love corn as much as I do, you should also check out these other recipes for Creamed Corn, Corn Fritters or Creamy Skillet Corn.
