Directions
Mexican Street Corn Salad
On a grill set to medium heat, brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill on all sides just until you get a small black char. Slice the kernels off of the corn and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, add chopped romaine lettuce, then layer sliced cherry tomatoes, corn, crumbled Cotija cheese, cubed avocados and pepitas. Before serving, pour over honey-lime vinaigrette.
Honey-Lime Vinaigrette
Add all the ingredients into a small mason jar and shake vigorously until the honey dissolves. Pour onto salad or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
