Mexican Street Corn Salad

This Mexican corn salad combines hot canned corn with butter, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime for a delicious savory treat that reminds me of elotes (Mexican grilled corn on the cob) that I always enjoyed at Cinco de Mayo fiestas in southern California.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, undrained

  • ¼ cup grated cotija cheese

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 pinch red chili powder to taste

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste

  • 1 sprig cilantro for garnish

Directions

  1. Pour corn with liquid into a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until hot. Drain well, and return to the saucepan.

  2. Stir in cotija cheese, mayonnaise, and butter. Season to taste with red chili powder and lime juice. Spoon into a serving dish, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro to serve.

Cook’s Note

You can grate Cotija or you can dice it. I prefer the grated because it doesn't overpower the corn.
