Mexican Corn Salad is a unique way to eat your corn … off the cob! Raw corn kernels are mixed with lime juice, chili powder, cojita cheese, and creamy mayo for a delicious, unique corn salad.
*Serves 4-6 as side dish
Ingredients
- 8 cobs fresh corn
- Juice of one lime
- 1/4 cup homemade or store-bought mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 2 Tbsp. fresh chives
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup cojita or feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut raw kernels off of the cob (see notes).
- Toss corn with lime juice, mayo, and chili powder. Stir to combine well.

Notes
- You can also grill or steam the corn if you don’t like it raw, but we’ve found the crunchiness of the raw corn is really delicious in the salad.
