Frequently asked questions
This Mexican Street Corn Salad is the perfect addition to a Mexican food spread. Serve as a side next to sizzling chicken or steak fajitas, or dish it up as extra greens next to a cheesy quesadilla. Add it directly into tacos for a flavorful, corny crunch. But the meal doesn’t have to be Mexican; our street corn salad and its summer corn vibes are just as delicious next to a tender baked salmon, a juicy pork tenderloin, grilled shish kebabs, and roasted cauliflower.
Mexican street corn, also known around the world as “elote,” involves covering corn in mayo, cotija cheese or queso fresco, lime, cilantro, and chili powder. It usually comes on the cob, slathered in mayo and toppings—prepare to need a napkin for all that cheesy sauce on your cheeks! Or it can be served up in a cup, like a little trough of corn kernels, bathing in a scoopful of mayonnaise, cheese, and a squeeze of lime or other toppings. With this presentation, you get to shovel it in with a spoon.
A Mexican style street corn salad adds corn to a bed of fresh, crisp greens, then toppings and dressing with these classic flavors. Our salad kit includes toppings like smoked paprika cornbread crumbles, green onion, crispy corn, parmesan, and a creamy elote dressing.
Elote and Mexican street corn are the same thing. “Elote” is just one word for corn in Spanish—but that term usually refers to this classic snack with all the elote toppings. (Plain old corn without this delicious preparation is just called “maíz.”)
Our Mexican-Style Street Corn Chopped Salad kit contains green leaf lettuce, sweet corn, broccoli, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, carrot, green onion, smoked paprika seasoning, cornbread crumbles, grated parmesan cheese, and an elote-style dressing made with sour cream and lime juice.
It must be the creamy combo of salty cotija cheese and tangy lime over the soft crunch of sweet corn that makes this food such an addicting mouthful. And when you add fresh cilantro and mild chili powder, talk about a bite that hits every taste bud! (Just kidding, don’t talk with your mouth full.) Also, we find anything smothered in mayo to be extra tasty.
They sure are! Every ingredient is pre-washed, chopped, and prepped, no extra cooking or chopping required. Just open up a bag, drizzle on the dressing & toppings, and dive in.
