A vibrant Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites) that combines sweet corn, creamy feta, and tangy lime for a refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If using frozen corn, start by thawing and draining it. If you’re going the fresh route, grill the corn on the cob until it’s beautifully charred, then cut the kernels off the cob.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn with the olive oil, chili powder, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese for that creamy goodness.
  4. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  5. Chill for a bit before serving, and enjoy this tasty side dish!

Notes

Best served as a side dish, taco topping, or on a bed of greens. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
