Mexican Street Corn Salad

Molly LaFontaine

My easy Mexican street corn salad takes only 10 minutes to make! It's made with wholesome ingredients and simple steps. My husband and I fell in love with Mexican street corn at Mas Tacos Por Favor here in Nashville. So I knew I needed to make my own version at home, just off the cob in salad form! I hope you love this summer side as much as we do.

Cotija Cheese Note: Use a box grater to get finer crumbles rather than using your hands.
