Mexican Corn Salad
This post was contributed by Lolo’s Desserts.
Easy, quick, and delicious Mexican Corn Salad. A perfect side for any meal to add lots of veggies and lots of flavor! Hiland Dairy Sour Cream gives this salad the perfect amount of creaminess to the heat.
I love a good side dish. In fact, I may have been known to make numerous sides just as a meal. I think it mostly comes from my constant need to have options.
I fell in love with this Mexican Corn Salad years ago and it’s been a staple ever since.
It’s a perfect complement to so many types of meals. Mexican, steak, burgers, seafood, summer, fall — it’s all good. I love to use corn right off the cob to char up quick in a skillet but you can use canned or frozen corn to make this even quicker.
This salad has a little spice from the jalapeno but the creaminess from the Hiland Dairy Sour Cream is the perfect complement to the heat. The sour cream makes this salad just a little creamy which is the reason it’s so special. If you prefer, you can always use Hiland Dairy yogurt for this salad as well. It’s flexible and works with whatever you might have in your fridge.
