Mexican-inspired street corn salad

Recipe + photo by Caitlin Chisholm

Tangy, sweet, super aromatic! I love this recipe as a great side dish, appetizer, party snack, taco salad topper, etc.! The best part about it is that it is completely customizable based on your preferences! Below I’ve shared the measurements I like, but if you like more spice, add more spiceā€¦ Not a fan of a tangy lime? Add less lime! If you like it and enjoy!

Materials

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen corn
  • Ā½ teaspoon each of the following: garlic powder, dried oregano, and sea salt
  • Ā¾ teaspoon each of the following: smoked paprika, chili, and cumin
  • Juice of 1 lime, divided
  • Ā½ cup Sir Kensington’s Classic Vegan Mayo
  • Ā½ red bell pepper, chopped
  • Ā½ small red onion, chopped
  • Small handful of finely chopped coriander leaves
  • Optional add-in ideas: jalapeƱo, green onion, vegan cotija cheese

instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the corn along with all the spices and seasonings. Stir to distribute evenly.
  • Cook until lightly charred, 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the corn is cooking, mix the juice of Ā½ lime with Sir Kensington’s Classic Vegan Mayo in a medium bowl to make the dressing.
  • Add the red bell pepper and red onion to the dressing bowl.
  • When the corn is charred, stir in the juice of the other Ā½ lime and scrape the pan to incorporate any charred bits into the corn mixture. Turn off the heat when the lime juice evaporates.
  • Once the corn has cooled for a few minutes, add it to your dressing bowl and stir everything to combine.
  • Finally, stir in most of your cilantro, reserving some for garnish on top.
  • Allow to cool before serving.
