Mexican Corn Salad

Mexican Corn Salad

I absolutely loved this Mexican corn salad. The combination of sweet corn, salty cotija cheese, spicy jalapeno, creamy mayonnaise, and tart lime made this corn salad so flavorful and delicious. My entire family enjoyed it although my son said he prefers plain corn on the cob. I served this Mexican corn salad with simple pork tacos and they paired really nicely together.

How to Make a Mexican Corn Salad

Heat a dry grill pan over medium heat. Add the shucked corn to the hot grill pan and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown. In my grill pan, it took about 15 minutes. Let the corn cool completely then cut the kernels off the cob with a knife. Set aside.

Combine the completely cooled corn kernels with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, green onions, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and lime juice; mix well. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy.
