Corn Salad With Queso Fresco - Ensalada De Choclo image

This salad is accompanies many Latin meals. It has a simple lime dressing that allows the fresh flavors of the ingredients to shine. Corn, onions, cilantro, red pepper, and cubes of queso fresco (farmer's cheese) are tossed with a little bit of vegetable oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. If you can find frozen Andean choclo corn at your local Latin grocery, it is fantastic in this light, refreshing, and nutritious salad.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my corn salad turned out bland and watery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of corn salad, but this recipe is actually pretty good. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the corn is nice and crisp.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I also like to add some chopped red onion and cilantro for extra flavor.

I love this corn salad! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I often add a can of black beans or corn for extra protein and texture.
