I love fresh produce and right now there is locally grown corn being sold in markets just about everywhere where I live. Corn is my kids’ favorite vegetable and I can always count on them eating it as a side whenever I make it. We are buying it regularly at our house and I am always looking for ways to change up the flavor or presentation.

Mexican Street Corn is a favorite of mine but I decided I wanted to try a salad version. I was so excited about this idea, I started googling to see what had been done and came across this recipe from Little Spice Jar and knew those were the ingredients I wanted. If you haven’t checked out her incredible blog yet, make sure you do! Her photography and recipes are outstanding!

But back to this Mexican Street Corn Salad… it truly is AMAZING! Trust me, you NEED to make this recipe!

This side dish is perfect for any occasion and will be a favorite by all who try it!

    I made this Saturday night for my son's birthday party Sunday. It was a huge hit. Everyone loved. I personally hate corn and beans so I did not try it but I am glad I made it! I had quite a few people ask me for the recipe!
