Elote Corn Salad
This salad combines the sweet crunch of fresh corn with creamy goodness, all dressed up in lime and spices. It’s like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited!
Ingredients
- 4 cups of fresh corn kernels (you can use frozen but fresh is best!)
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (or parsley if you’re feeling rebellious)
- 1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise (because who doesn’t love a little creaminess?)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First things first – let’s cook that corn! If you’re using fresh corn, boil it for about 5-7 minutes until tender. If you’re using frozen corn, just thaw it out. It’s not an obstacle race, you know!
- Once your corn is cooked (and your kitchen smells amazing), let it cool off for a bit. We don’t want any corn-based facial burns!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn, crumbled feta cheese, chopped red onion, cilantro, and red bell pepper. Feel free to get creative with your mixing and pretend you’re a chef on a cooking show.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is where the magic happens, folks! It’s liquid gold.
- Now, pour that magical mixture over your salad and mix everything together until every kernel is coated in deliciousness. Don’t be shy; get in there!
- For the pièce de résistance, let that salad chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Yes, I know it’s hard to wait – just think about all the wonderful flavors that are mingling. It’s like a corn dance party!
- Finally, serve up this colorful concoction at your next gathering, and watch your guests rave about it. Who knew corn could be so trendy?
There you have it! A refreshing Elote Corn Salad that will steal the spotlight at any potluck. Enjoy your sunny day and your corn-ucopia of tasty goodness!
