Mexican Corn Salad

Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing Mexican Corn Salad featuring sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and zesty lime dressing, perfect for gatherings and barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups corn (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco or feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the Vegetables: Start by taking a large bowl. Add your corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. Toss them gently together to mix all the flavors.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This dressing is what gives your salad a fresh and zesty taste.
  3. Mix It Together: Pour the dressing over your salad mixture. Toss everything together well to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
  4. Add Cheese: Crumble the queso fresco or feta cheese on top of the salad. This adds a creamy texture and salty flavor that pairs wonderfully with the fresh veggies.
  5. Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor, cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld together beautifully.

Notes

For a fun twist, serve in taco shells or lettuce wraps. Garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.
