My favorite way to make this Mexican Street Corn Salad it is by charring up several ears of corn on the grill. After the corn is grilled, let them cool and slice them off for this crispy corn salad. In a pinch you could substitute frozen corn kernels, just make sure to thaw them, and then just char them in a pan.
Then you’ll add a few seasonings, a little feta or cojita cheese, and you are on your way to a delicious treat! I absolutely love this as a topping for tacos, but have also had it as a topping for nachos along with some creamy Monterey Jack cheese sauce. My mouth is watering just talking about it!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does. I assure you, it won’t disappoint anyone… especially those who love corn!
