How to Make Mexican Street Corn Salad

This Chopped Mexican Street Corn Salad is a healthy, super delicious rendition of the iconic street food antojito ("snack"), sold by roadside vendors all over Mexico City

Chopped Mexican Street Corn Salad

Greek yogurt

lime juice

sugar

smoked paprika

coriander

cumin

chili powder

black pepper

corn tortillas

extra virgin olive oil

fresh corn (kernels removed)

medium hearts of Romaine

mango

large bell pepper (diced about ½ inch)

red onion (diced about ½ inch)

cucumber

jalapeño peppers (finely chopped)

cilantro (finely chopped)

cotija cheese (or Feta, crumbled)

extra cilantro leaves (for garnish)

In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise until nice and smooth. Slowly add the lime juice while whisking. Add the sugar, spices, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator.

For the dressing:

Preheat oven to 375˚F. Stack corn tortillas on a cutting board. Cut in half. Cut each stack of halves into thin strips, widthwise, about 1/4-inch thick.

Transfer tortilla strips to a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, or until light golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.

For the corn tortillas:

Place three ears of corn in the microwave and cook for 6 minutes on high power. Remove with a hot pad and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Repeat with the next three ears. For the last two, cook for 4 minutes on high power.

After the corn is cooled, cut off the bottom end of each cob about 1½ inches from the end. Pull back husk and silks (almost all of the silk should easily pull away). Cut kernels from husks (avoiding the tough core) and set aside.

For the corn:

Pull off any browned or blemished outer leaves from the hearts of Romaine. Slice Romaine into ½-inch slices and then run your knife a few times across each slice to create small bite-size pieces.

Combine the Romaine, corn, mango, bell pepper, red onion, cucumbers, jalapeno and chopped cilantro. Stir gently to combine. Add 3-4 tablespoons of the dressing and stir again gently to coat all ingredients. Taste and add more dressing as desired. Serve any extra dressing at the table.

Sprinkle the salad with the Cotija (or Feta) and garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.

Serve with tortilla strips on top or place a bowl on the side and let guests help themselves.

For the salad:

My vegan version of Mexican Street Corn Salad AKA Esquites is bright, tangy, slightly spicy and incredibly DELICIOUS. It’s Mexican corn on the cob in a cup! Super creamy with no dairy! Perfect summer salad! Easy side dish, lite lunch or snack! Serve warm or cold. Gluten free, nut free.

Vegan Mexican Street Corn Salad

red onion, diced

jalapeño, diced (see notes*)

vegan feta cheese, crumbled, homemade

white vinegar

salt black pepper

Tajin (sprinkle on top for serving)

For corn: Boil corn for 3 minutes, no longer. Once cool enough to handle cut kernels off the Cobb

Add to salad bowl along with vegetables, vegan mayo, feta, herbs, spices, vinegar and lime juice.

Toss everything together. Sprinkle the Tajin over the top 

Serve warm or cover and chill in the fridge first your choice! ( I like it chilled) To add more spice bring your favourite hot sauce to the table. For step by step photos, FAQ, Tips and serving suggestions see above post

I’ve made this 3 times already we can seem to get enough of it, so delicious! 

Fabulous recipe!!!!!! I made this for a family potluck bbq with about 25 non-vegans and everyone loved it. People were shocked that it was vegan. People asked me for the recipe even days and weeks after. I made it with frozen corn  and didn’t even cook it….just threw it right in frozen so it would keep cold but be thawed by the time I got to the party. I can’t imagine how good it would be with fresh corn. I used Nafsika’s feta which is amazing stuff but may be hard to find. Will be making this on the regular!!!

Trying this tonight. Did you know that Trader Joe's carries fried jalapeño peppers?  I've been saving them for a special occasion/will top this dish with them! Thanks!

4 ears of corn = how many cups of frozen corn, please?

Lay your husked corn on the grill and close the lid, but turn the ears frequently so that they develop lots of caramelized grill marks without getting burned or charred. This will take about 5-10 minutes.

Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool until you can safely handle it. (You can also grill the corn several hours in advance or a day ahead, if needed, and store it in the refrigerator once cooled.) When the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife (this is my favorite chef's knife) or a handy "corn stripper."

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and water until smooth. Drizzle over the corn mixture. (As shown in the photo in the post above, I like to do this by pouring the dressing mixture into a zipper bag and snipping the corner of the zipper bag for drizzling. You can also simply drizzle the dressing onto the salad from a spoon.)

Garnish the top of the salad by sprinkling it with the reserved cotija cheese, and (if desired) with a little extra chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

Serve immediately.

Excellent recipe, thank you! I'm going to have to hone my corn-shaving skills because I'll be making this well into perpetuity. Even after omitting the cilantro (I have the unlucky gene), the esquites burst with so much tangy, creamy, umami flavor in every bite!

I made this tonight as a side for your fish tacos. Followed the recipe to a T and it was delicious! Corn cooked perfectly, just the right amount of spicy, tangy flavor. Yum!!

This Vegan Mexican Street Corn Salad is everything you love about grilled Mexican street corn without the mess! Fresh, grilled corn on the cob (elotes), sliced off the cob (esquites), and paired with a cool, creamy, and tangy gluten-free, allergy-free mayo-based sauce with cilantro, lime, and a dash of spice! An easy summer side dish recipe!

Vegan Mexican Street Corn Salad (Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free)

Cup Vegan/Soy-Free Mayo

TB Nutritional Yeast

TB Fresh Lime Juice

Tsp Lime Zest

Cup Chopped Cilantro

to 1 Tsp Chili Powder (to taste)

Tsp Black Pepper

Salt (to taste)

Smoked Paprika

First, remove the husks of the corn cobs and lightly brush the corn with olive oil (or directly grease your grill).

Heat the grill you'll be using, and place the corn cobs on the heated grates. Using tongs to rotate the corn, slightly char the kernels for about 10-15 minutes.

Once you get the amount of char you want, remove the corn cobs from the grill and allow them to cool slightly

On a large plate or in a wide shallow bowl, hold each corn cob upright and slice the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.

To Prepare the Corn:

In a large bowl, combine the charred corn kernels, mayo, nutritional yeast, lime juice, and zest and mix everything together to fully coat the corn.

Now add in the chopped cilantro, chili powder, black pepper, and salt according to you taste preferences and toss the salad again.

Top the street corn salad with extra chili powder, paprika, lime slices, and chopped cilantro.

Prepare the Salad:

This looks an amazingly Rebecca....and mexican recipes is one of my favorite and this salad looks soo delicious, i will trying to make it from your tips....Thanks for sharing.....!

This was delicious!  We are having a Super Bowl party and needed some vegan options.  This compliments the vegan sweet potato black bean enchiladas I made.  The non-veg attendees raved about it and couldn't believe it was vegan.

Just made it for the first time.  Left out the yeast because I didn’t have it. It really is fantastic!!! I will be bringing this dish to several parties in the future. It’s going to be a big hit! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this today and wowza so good!!! I did add some diced up peppers (red yellow green), and I added 1 T crushed red pepper seasoning and a bit (1/2 teaspoon) of tajin seasoning. I used an epicure mayo which is vegan. I will totally make this again!!

Just made this and it tastes as delicious as it looks! I added chopped up tomatoes and avocado

Made this last night with leftover corn I had and wow, was this delicious! I threw in some grilled jalapeño I had, but otherwise followed the recipe to the T. Super flavorful and enjoyed this with some tortilla chips! Will definitely remake again :)

I brought it to a friend's house today (I doubled the recipe) and It was a huge hit! Everyone raved about it and almost all of it was gone by the time we left!

Great recipe and it was so easy to print by putting in my email address.

Incredible! Doubled the recipe and everyone raved.

Delicious and easy! Love the use of greek dressing versus mayo in this lighter version. 5 stars!
