A while back, I made some Elote since we had gotten some corn on the cob. We really enjoyed it, but we didn't have fresh ears of corn anymore, so I thought I could make something with corn kernels. These flavors work perfectly as a Mexican corn salad, and my favorite part? It's super easy to make! I'm always a fan of easy and yummy. Aren't you? You simply put all the materials together and mix. If you wanted even more yumminess, you could grill the corn first for that delectable grilled flavor. Either way, you've got a quick and easy Mexican corn salad!

DeleteI've never tried Cotija cheese however I do love corn. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us at #anythinggoes link up and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The saltiness of the Cotija really adds something to this corn salad. Hope you enjoy it. :)
DeleteI don't think that I've had Cotija cheese before. The recipe looks good ~ pinned so I can try it out.
ReplyDeleteYay! Let me know what you think once you give it a try. :)
DeleteI love quick and easy dishes like this! Though I have never heard of that type of cheese. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, especially when there's 3 kiddos to take care of! :) They usually have it on the side of the regular cheese section, but if you can't find it, something like Parmesan or Feta or a mix would work.
DeleteLovely recipe, just like "esquites" in Mexico, yummy!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that one. I'll have to check it out. :)
