Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. If using fresh corn, cook the kernels until tender-crisp. Drain well. If using frozen corn, thaw completely and drain any excess water.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your dressing.
  3. Add the cooked corn, crumbled cotija cheese, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro to the dressing.
  4. Gently fold all ingredients together until the corn is evenly coated.
  5. Taste the salad and adjust salt or lime juice if needed.
  6. Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider grilling the corn before adding it to the salad. Substitute feta cheese if cotija is unavailable.
