Mexican Corn Salad
Have you ever tried Mexican corn salad?
If you haven’t tried it yet, you should definitely check out this recipe!
This recipe for Mexican corn salad makes a delicious sweet and tangy side dish that goes great with any meal.
The flavours of lime, cojita cheese, cilantro and chipotle combined with delicious sweet corn and avocado makes this a spectacular side dish!
This is great as a side dish served with anything barbecued!
Lately my son has been obsessed with any kinds of food that are yellow in colour, plus he loves avocados so this dish works out really well for him. 🙂
The chipotle powder in this recipe is not enough to give it an overwhelming amount of spice. It’s just enough to give it a little bit of “excitement”. Feel free to adjust the amount of chipotle though if you’d like.
This salad uses a traditional Mexican cheese called cojita but you can use feta cheese as a substitute and it’ll still taste amazing.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you could actually use it as a dip! This stuff tastes great scooped up with tortilla chips!
You can also use this as a topping in a grilled chicken wrap with veggies.
Seriously though, have fun with this recipe and see if you can come up with other ways to use it and please let me know what you come up with! 🙂
It’s so good!

The Mexican cojita cheese sounds delicious. I had it in Mexico, but have never seen it here in Ohio. Now that I know the name of it, I will search for it! 🙂

This looks great. I am not a fan of Mexican food but I would try this because I love corn, it is my favorite.

i haven’t tried this particular mexican corn salad. i bought some corn salad from trader’s joe but not quite similar
This is a different kind of salad. The ingredients are not had to find, so I guess this recipe will be printed out and have a special place in my recipe collection folder. I’d try making some on the weekend.
I have never tried anything like this before. It looks like such a delicious recipe. I will have to try making this.
This would be a lot of fun to make. I haven’t tried making corn salad myself so this would be a great recipe to work with!
No I have not tried corn salad but after looking at these pictures I really want too! It looks delicious!
I love a good corn salad and this on looks like a great one, I am pretty much obsessed with anything mexican flavored!
I’m on a Mexican food kick lately. I haven’t bought chipotle powder, but everyone who eats “real” Mexican food tells me it’s a staple in their household. I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow and think maybe it’s time to just pick some up. This looks yummy!
I have always wanted to do something like this, but I have a family that likes everything plain! LOL I will have to try this on a night they are out of town!
Wow, this looks incredible. I’ve had a mexican corn salad before but never something that looked so creamy and tasty. Will definitely have hubby make this for us.
I made something very similar to this last night and my boyfriend said it looked disgusting. That’s fine by me. Means I get to eat it all.
Interesting! I have never heard of a corn salad without tomatoes. It looks delicious!
This just looks so delicious. I’ve never had anything like this before but I’ll be making it soon.
That looks fantastic! I’ve never had Mexican corn salad before. I can’t wait to try this.
Wow, this looks so darn good! I don’t think I have ever used cojita cheese though. Feta for sure but I want to go buy some cojita now.
We are huge Mexican food fans! I will most certainly be trying this awesome sounding recipe.
