Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. All this hot and humid weather has me eating #AllTheSalads all the time. I am also always looking for new and exciting ways to prepare them. I’ve got a great twist for you all today with this easy Skinny Mexican Street Corn Salad.
Skinny Mexican Street Corn Salad
So why “skinny”? Traditional Mexican Street Corn is usually prepared with garlic mayo and Cojito cheese. While occasional mayo consumption never hurt anyone, I wanted to create a dish that can become a staple in your summer eating. Not to mention the fact that summer corn is just delicious and I am all about finding new ways to enjoy it. This Skinny Mexican Street Corn Salad is the bomb!
Start with a few ears of the summer’s best yellow corn. Add in some jicama, fresh summer tomatoes, lime and cilantro. How did I get that creamy, spicy rich flavor with mayo and cheese? I mixed up some chipotles in adobo sauce with a little Greek yogurt to make a healthy, zippy dressing.
Once you’ve picked and cooked your corn, this Skinny Mexican Street Corn Salad can be mixed up in a matter of minutes. Chill and serve! I am not kidding when I say this is an addictive salad. It’s a perfect side to bring to a BBQ or just enjoy it all for yourself. That’s what I did! Vegetarian and gluten free.
Corn fan? What’s your favorite way to enjoy it? Ever had Mexican Street Corn?

A perfect salad for a summer picnic. This looks very refreshing. I have never used jicama before. Curious to try it!
jicama is great in salads!

Good leftovers indeed!

This seems like such a great side dish for a bbq! It would be perfect with some tortilla chips to scoop it with.
Oh yes it sure would!
Mexican street corn was all the rage when I lived in Brooklyn. It always looks so good! Stupid corn allergy.
OH no that’s not fair at all!
My husband makes something similar, and it’s so refreshing in the summer! I’ll have to share the recipe for the dressing with him!
The dressing was the kicker for sure!
Well, as you know, I’m a Iowa girl, so I love anything with corn! Another great recipe to add to my “to try” list. Thanks!!
Fantastic hope you do give it a try.The corn is so amazing right now
I had plans to make this last week and didn’t get to it and my corn went bad which makes me even more upset. Hopefully it will happen this week!
Yes the corn is super delish right now
Love this recipe! I love mexican street corn and this recipe sounds like a great way to lighten up the traditional version.

This salad looks perfect for a warm summer picnic or BBQ. Good thing there’s still plenty of time left in summer to be able to enjoy something like this. 🙂
Yes indeed the corn is superb right now
I love Mexican food and I love corn so this looks great.
Fabulous hope you give it a try this summer
Mexican street corn is my absolute favorite in the summer. I make something very similar, but without tomatoes, and it’s a dip. It’s always a huge hit at parties, and I could probably eat the whole batch myself.
I know it’s such a great flavor combo
This sounds so yummy! I love mixed bowls of things like this one!
thanks so do I-like summer in a bowl
Summer corn is one of my faves – this looks like a great way to enjoy it!
mine too thanks!
I LOVE cojito cheese but you’re right not the nest choice. This looks so colorful and yummy. Jersey is known for their corn. I need to try this recipe this summer.
Oh yes the corn is so good right now perfect for salad
Oh, I love corn and jimica! What a great combination. My husband will only eat corn on the cob, but the rest of us would enjoy this.
I loved the pairing as well hope you try it out
This looks like a true summer staple. Perfect for BBQs!
Yes a great side dish

What a wonderful way to eat corn! I love the mexican flavors in this!

Yum, that sounds amazing! I love Mexican street corn but it’s definitely not on the healthy side. I love this as an alternative.
Thanks so much I love to find ways to make classic dishes more healthy
This sounds AMAZING. I love each and every ingredient, and now I just need Emmie to get over her dairy issues so that I can have it!
Yes definitely!
