Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces frozen corn (1 bag)

2 Tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
  • While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.

Tips:

  • You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. For example, if you like spicy food, you could add some chopped jalapeño peppers. Or, if you want a more substantial salad, you could add some cooked chicken or black beans.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

This Mexican corn off the cob salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
