The Best Street Corn Salad


Ingredients:

  • 5-6 ears of corn, husked and removed from the cob
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 1/3 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/3 cup grated cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Grill the corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Add the corn cobs and grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and slightly softened.
  2. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, chili powder, Tajín seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine ingredients: Once the corn has cooled, cut it off the cob and add it to the dressing. Stir in scallions, cilantro, jalapeño, and cotija cheese.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately, topped with additional cotija cheese, Tajín, and chili powder, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a spicier salad, add more jalapeño or chili powder.
  • You can also roast the corn in the oven instead of grilling it.
  • To make this salad vegan, use vegan mayonnaise and a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Serve this salad as a side dish or a main course.

Enjoy your delicious Grilled Corn Salad!
