Ingredients
- 6 cups frozen corn
- 2 Chopped jalapeños
- ½ diced red onion
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 juiced lime
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Tajín
- ½ cup cilantro
- 2 green onions
- 2 tablespoon Frank's Hot Sauce
- cotija cheese Optional
Instructions
- Measure your corn into an oven safe dish and add 1 cup of water.
- Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes, remove and stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes (cooking times may vary from one microwave to the next). Drain any excess water and set aside.
- Chop and add the Onion and Jalapenos.
- Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and all of the seasoning and mix into the corn mixture.
- Stir in the green onions
- sprinkle with the tajin, cilantro, cotija and frank's red hot sauce
Notes
- I used frozen corn as it's more convenient than grilling corn and then removing the kernels but if you want a more authentic flavor then that's the way to go. I like the corn in this salad to have a bit of a bite to it as that mimics the taste of the grilled variety and find that frozen corn achieves this better than the canned alternative for this.
- I prefer Jalapenos for that authentic Mexican flavor but any green Chilis you have will work.
- If you want fewer calories in your dressing, use light mayonnaise and yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Eliminate the cheese entirely as I did or add some in, swap it for feta, parmesan, or a combination of both if you can't find Cotija. These are all options that will work.
- Add-ins are always fun and some ideas are, avocado, black beans, and red bell pepper; especially if you want to turn this into more of an entree salad for lunch versus a snack or side.
