Mexican Street Vendor Style Corn Salad image

I lived in southern California for many years. Around Cinco de Mayo, there would be fiestas in our neighborhood. Vendors sold grilled corn on the cob prepared with butter, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chile powder and a lime wedge. They were so delicious! After moving, we'd crave this corn, so I altered the recipe using canned corn and mixed in the same ingredients for a similar treat that doesn't require an outdoor grill.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I love that this salad is so versatile. I've added black beans, avocado, and even pineapple to it before.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the corn, the smokiness of the paprika, and the acidity of the lime juice all come together perfectly.
