Elotes (Mexican Street Corn) Salad
6 Servings
30 min
Fresh, in season corn grilled and cut right off the cob, combined with flavor-packed ingredients like radishes and jalapeños, make this salad something special.
Traditionally, “Mexican street corn” is grilled corn with mayo or butter and flavorful add ons like chili powder and lime. It often has cojita cheese as well.
This salad takes all of those delicious components, and makes them into something you can eat with a fork.
I’m going to be honest with you, when I made this, I tasted it to make sure everything came together well. Then I quickly took pictures and we immediately started eating it right off the serving dish, switching the fork back and forth between us. It was that good. 6 ears of corn and the 2 of us finished it in one night!
If that doesn’t sell you….
I have seen different versions of this out there on Pinterest and blogs, and I’m sure they are all delicious in their own way. What makes this one special is all the flavorful additions. Radishes for crunch and bite, jalapeños for heat, Josie’s green onions for subtle onion-y flavor. Oh, and lots of lime!

I live in Southern California were Mexican food carts abound and I do love Mexican corn! This recipe captures the flavor exactly. My only recommendation is to go easy on the mayo, You can always add more.
