MEXICAN STREET VENDOR STYLE CORN SALAD



Mexican Street Vendor Style Corn Salad image

I lived in southern California for many years. Around Cinco de Mayo, there would be fiestas in our neighborhood. Vendors sold grilled corn on the cob prepared with butter, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chile powder and a lime wedge. They were so delicious! After moving, we'd crave this corn, so I altered the recipe using canned corn and mixed in the same ingredients for a similar treat that doesn't require an outdoor grill.

BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD - SPICY MEXICAN SALAD/SIDE DISH



Black Bean and Corn Salad - Spicy Mexican Salad/Side Dish image

A spicy, crisp, fresh vegetable salad. This salad should be made several hours before it is served....to marinate the vegetables and blend the flavors. I personally don't cook the corn I cut from the cobb, just a personal preference. If corn isn't in season a good quality frozen corn is a perfect substitution - I don't even defrost it! The produce you use should be top quality for a superior result.

CHOPPED MEXICAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, CORN, TOMATOES, AND



Chopped Mexican Salad With Roasted Peppers, Corn, Tomatoes, And image

This is a great chopped salad recipe that appeared in the July '06 edition of Fine Cooking. The only change I've made is cutting the corn off the cob and pan roasting the kernels in a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, rather than roasting the corn and then slicing them off the cob. It's very healthy, colorful, refreshing, and fun! Try this with Grilled Lime Shrimp #43737.

CHOPPED MEXICAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, CORN, TOMATOES & AVOCADO



CHOPPED MEXICAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, CORN, TOMATOES & AVOCADO image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the peppers and corn:
2 large orange or red bell peppers
2 ears fresh corn
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the honey-lime-cumin vinaigrette:
1 small clove gatlic
kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon honey, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and finely ground
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
To assemble:
2 large firm-ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/4 inch dice (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 small jicama, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch dice (about 2 cups)
2 large firm-ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4 inch dice (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups home cooked black beans)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees Roast the peppers and corn: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a heavy duty rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut the peppers in half lenghtwise and remove the stem, seed core and ribs. Put the pepper halves on the baking sheet cut side down. Husk the corn and put the ears on the baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the peppers and corn and rub it around to coat the pepper skins and corn kernels evenly. Sprinkle the corn with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until the peppers are soft and slightly shriveled and browned and the corn kernels are lightly browned in a few spots, about 20 minutes ( rotate the corn occasionally as it roasts). When the vegetables are done, let them rest until cool enough to handle. Scrape away the pepper skin and cut the flesh into 1/2 inch dice. Cut the corn kernels from the cob. You should have about 1 1/2 cups kernels. Make the vinaigrette: Mince and mash the garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the garlic paste with the lime and orange juices, shallot, honey, and toasted ground cumin. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking until well blended. Season to taste with black pepper and more salt and honey if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet corn. This is the key to a great corn salad. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
  • Blanch the corn before adding it to the salad. This will help to preserve its color and crunch. To blanch the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright yellow and tender. Immediately remove the corn from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and keep the corn from becoming overcooked.
  • Add a variety of ingredients to your salad. This will give it more flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and red onion. You can also add a dressing made with lime juice, olive oil, and cumin.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Corn salad is best when it is fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Mexican corn salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn, and it is also a healthy and refreshing option. With its bright colors and bold flavors, Mexican corn salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
