Fresh-picked sweet corn is naturally sweet and tender, making it perfect for this salad. For even more flavour, try adding diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, chicken or black beans. It’s a delicious side dish for BBQs or a light summer lunch.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm for sweet corn season. Whether you pick your own or stop by our Farm Market for ready-picked corn, there’s nothing quite like fresh Ontario sweet corn at its peak.
Mexican Street Corn Salad
This fresh sweet corn salad is perfect for corn that's been picked that day, but it's also one of our favourite ways to use up leftover corn from the night before.
Servings: 4 people
Course: Salad, Side Dish
Method
- If using fresh corn: Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides. If using leftover BBQ corn, simply skip this step.
- Allow the corn to cool slightly, then slice the kernels from the cobs into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest, and lime juice.
- Pour the dressing over the corn and toss to coat.
- Add the green onions, feta, cilantro, smoked paprika, and jalapeño (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently stir until combined.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until chilled. This salad is delicious served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
