{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Mexican Street Corn Salad

 

I posted a recipe called this 2-1/2 years ago from a different source.  Sorry.  I’m crazy about fresh corn in any way, shape or form.  If you can’t find fresh, and live where they sell Harris Teeter frozen products (Like that matters) she recommends substituting those.

Mexican Street Corn Salad

recipe for this Mexican street corn salad you can use Harris Teeter Organic fresh corn kernels in the frozen section, and I will share how you can sauté the corn in a skillet to crisp it up. I also used a can of Harris Teeter Organic black beans; they are so good!

Ingredients

4 ears of corn, not shucked*

3 garlic cloves

1 jalapeno, seeds removed

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp. lime juice, 2 large limes

zest from one lime

1 red bell pepper, diced finely

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 Tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup black beans (optional), drained and rinsed

1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

1/4 cup cotija cheese, garnished on top

cumin (optional), to garnish

paprika (optional), to garnish

 

Instructions

Place non-shucked ears of corn on the grill and grill until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. If using frozen corn kernels, please see note 1. 

Allow the corn to cool for 5-10 minutes and shuck the corn. Remove the kernels, and place into a medium mixing bowl. 

Pulse the garlic cloves and jalapeno in the food processor until chopped finely. Place the mixture into the same mixing bowl as the corn kernels. 

Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, diced red bell pepper, cumin, olive oil, black beans, and cilantro. Taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste. 

Place into a serving dish, garnish with cotija cheese and add extra cumin and paprika. 

Recipe Notes

Note 1: You can use frozen corn kernels instead of fresh corn. Place a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and sauté 3 cups of corn on high until browned and crispy.
