Simple Summer Elote Salad

This Mess Is Ours

There have been some pretty epic street corn inspired eats on the site in year's past like my Grilled Mexican Street Corn Soup but this one just might be my favorite, because that dressing is on point with its creamy-tangy self!

This salad also travels really well in a Mason jar for lunch at work or an impromptu picnic.

01

Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle each ear of corn with olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Rub the spices and the oil all over each ear of corn.

02

Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning every 3 minutes for 10-15 minutes until the corn is charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside until cool enough to handle.

The Dressing

In a blender combine the crema, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.

To Serve

Strip the corn kernels from the cobs. In a large bowl toss the lettuce and the kale. (You can add in some of the dressing now) Top with pickled red onion, the stripped corn kernels, and Cotija cheese.
