Mexican Corn Salad
Description
This Mexican Corn Salad brings together six cups of corn, seasoned with kosher salt and chili powder, combined with mayonnaise to give a creamy base. Lime juice and zest add citrus brightness, cut through the richness, and enhance the fresh flavors. Chopped cilantro contributes herbal freshness, and crumbled cotija cheese on top adds a salty, crumbly contrast.
The salad can be served chilled or at room temperature and makes a flavorful accompaniment for grilled meats, tacos, or as part of a Mexican-themed meal. Adjust chili powder amounts depending on preferred spice intensity. The layering of creamy, tangy, and spicy elements makes this salad a satisfying yet refreshing option.
