    Summer is fast approaching and I want to share as many salad and refreshing drink recipes as possible. There is nothing better than a salad and a glass of lemonade on a summer afternoon. What I love most about this Mexican corn salad is how easy it is to put together. In fact, you can just enjoy the corn salad on its own without the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados. The corn mixture is the star of the dish.

    Ingredient’s You’ll Need 

     

    • Lettuce
    • Tomatoes
    • Corn – fresh, frozen, or canned corn works with this recipe.
    • Avocado
    • Sour Cream
    • Mayo
    • Lime Juice
    • Olive Oil
    • Paprika
    • Cumin
    • Cotija Cheese
    • Salt and Pepper

    How To Make Mexican Corn Salad 

     

    Start off by preparing the corn mixture. Simply mix the corn kernels, sour cream, mayo, paprika, 1/4 tsp cumin, and half of the lime juice and mix until well incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining lime juice, 1/4 tsp cumin, and olive oil. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper. To assemble the salad, place the lettuce, tomatoes, sliced avocado in a bowl and mix it with the vinaigrette dressing. Top it off with the corn salad, cotija cheese, and enjoy.

    You may incorporate as many veggies as you’d like such as spinach, red onions, and etc. If you want to make this spicy, add some pickled jalapenos.
