Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen corn thawed
- 1 cup cucumber diced
- 1 medium avocado diced
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- ⅓ cup cilantro leaves
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes or more
For the Dressing
- ½ cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice approx. half a medium lemon
- ¼ cup fresh water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
Optional Garnishes
- more cilantro
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese
- extra chili flakes
Instructions
- Add all the dressing ingredients to your blender and process until smooth and creamy. Start on low speed and then increase slowly to prevent cashew bits from splashing around. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Set aside.
- Combine all the salad ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour the dressing on top and mix well.
- Chill for 1 hour or serve immediately.

Notes
- If you don't have a powerful blender, presoak your cashews. You may soak overnight in cool water, or soak in boiling hot water for 30 minutes. The soak time will expand and soften the cashews, making them easier to blend.
- Although you may enjoy straight away, this vegan elote tastes best when chilled for 1 hour, so plan ahead if possible.
- For less spice, halve the chili flakes, or sub for chili powder instead.
- If you don't have lemon, you may sub with lime juice or use more vinegar.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days.
