Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)

Mexican Street Corn Salad is a take on the popular Elotes recipe; delicious corn smothered in a spicy dressing and topped with vibrant pops of flavor! Years and years ago, I used to frequent a pretty famous Mexican Cantina in Brooklyn, and I always used to order Elotes. Essentially Elotes is grilled corn on the cob that's smothered with various ingredients. I've always replicated the recipe at home, but I've never enjoyed eating corn off the cob, so I made it into a simple salad and served in a less messy way. Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites in Spanish), is a simple dish, with ...
