Ingredients

  • 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 2 cups corn kernels (I used fresh cut)
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved
  • 1/4 cup onion red, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup cotija cheese crumbled
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons salsa
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the romaine to a large bowl. Add the corn, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir.
  2. Add the crumbled cotija cheese. Stir.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add the dressing ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing on the salad. Stir until the salad is evenly coated in the dressing.

Notes

  • I like the extra crunchiness of not cooking the corn.  But, grilling the corn or sautéing it would also be great.
  • Using mayo instead of sour cream would make it closer to Mexican street corn.
