Mexican Corn Salad is an extraordinary fresh corn salad made for summer time BBQ’s and Mexican feasts! It’s a large salad form of Esquites, a corn street snack offered in cups on the streets of Mexico. Corn kernels are sautéed in butter and garlic until golden brown, then wearing a creamy lime dressing and completed with fresh coriander/cilantro and a touch of zing from Jalapeño. It’s outrageously and insanely proper.

The dressing is a creamy mayonnaise primarily based dressing with an adorable tang from lime juice and a savoury flavour enhancer from parmesan (that is the name of the game aspect that offers this dish the wow component!!).
You’ll find many variations that use a lot more mayonnaise than I do. I choose to use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream to lighten it up a touch even as it nevertheless has a great quantity of creamy dressing. This manner we get the satisfaction of both worlds – plenty of dressing but not overly rich! i take advantage of this for maximum of my mayo-based dressings, which include Coleslaw, Macaroni Salad, Broccoli Salad.
