This Mexican corn salad is like street corn in a bowl. Flavors of charred corn, cream, spices, cojita cheese, and lime are mixed together for easy serving. Of course, I think fresh corn would probably be best here. But, since I usually make this when cobs of corn aren’t available, the recipe calls for frozen defrosted corn. You can use drained canned corn instead if you prefer that but I’m not typically a fan of it. Tap the pin for this yummy side dish.
