Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Dip
Tired of the same old salsa or guac? Dip your chips in something new (and healthy)! Our Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Dip brings the smoky, creamy flavors of elote street vendors straight to your table with a veggie-packed twist—and it’s ready in just a few minutes.
Start with our Mexican Street Corn Chopped Kit—lettuce, shredded broccoli and cabbage, carrots, smoked paprika cornbread crumbles, green onion, crispy corn, and parmesan. Like all of our kits, it’s pre-washed and ready to go. Just chop it up finely, sprinkle on some cotija (or other crumbly cheese) and fresh cilantro, and drizzle on the creamy elote dressing. For some extra heat, add minced jalapeño and a dusting of tajín. Squeeze some lime over it, and start dipping!
This fresh dip is a great source of vitamins C and K, and is a perfect way to work some veggies into a snack, appetizer, or game-day spread

Discover Elote
Walk around a Mexican town, market, or fair, and you’re bound to find an elote vendor. This south-of-the-border take on corn on the cob is a favorite treat for its mix of creamy, smoky, and spicy flavors. They start by grilling sweet corn until charred. Then, they brush on a creamy layer of mayo, crema, or sour cream and sprinkle it with a crumbly cheese (like cotija). The whole thing is finished with a dusting of chili powder and a squeeze of lime. It’s sweet, tangy, spicy, and irresistible. That’s the flavor we capture in our Mexican Street Corn Chopped Kit, and it also makes for a perfect dip for tortilla chips.
