This Mexican Street Corn Salad is an easy way to get all the same flavors of Mexican Street Corn in a one bowl recipe. Super quick to make on the stove top and great served alone or along side some chips. Also perfect for potlucks, cookouts or gatherings. Gluten Free, Easy, Delicious.

And let me just say if you have yet to try Mexican Street Corn then this is the perfect way to get ya started… in the form of a salad….

Since it can easily be served alone as a meal, with some chips or even by the spoonful.

It’s one of my go to summer recipes for many reasons… easy, delicious and can be made on the stove top.

So no need to turn on the oven or even fire up the grill.

Also a great make ahead recipe… It’s a good option to have on hand for ready to go lunches or dinners.

Another family favorite is Mexican Street Corn Nachos. Which I love to serve for gatherings since they can easily feed a group and my whole family loves them.

What is Mexican Street Corn:

Mexican Street Corn is typically made by grilling ears of corn….

Then coating them in a mixture of mayo, sour cream, cotija cheese, chili powder and lime juice.

With this salad it’s basically a deconstructed form that requires no grilling and is made in one bowl.

How to make Mexican Street Corn Salad:

You want to start by heating up a skillet with a little olive oil over medium high heat…

Then add the corn kernels and you want to cook them till slightly charred. When you hear them starting to pop they’re almost done…

They should look slightly brown or caramelized.

Meanwhile chop up remaining ingredients.. and mix everything together in a large mixing bowl…

Then fold in charred corn. Can serve immediately or store in a covered container in the fridge for up to five days.
