    Mexican Street Corn Salad Recipe 

    One of my favorite meals during the warmer months is Mexican street corn - it's so good! Nothing screams summer than throwing an ear or two of corn (or even 10) on the grill. If we aren't slathering the freshly grilled corn with melted butter, salt, and pepper, then we are slathering mayo, cumin, paprika, lime juice, and cotija cheese on top. If you haven't had the chance to try Mexican street corn before, you are missing out!

    Mexican street corn doesn't only have to be on Cinco de Mayo but can be made anytime you have a craving for it. Since I love Mexican street corn so much, I decided to make a Mexican street corn salad, and it is incredible. It so creamy and flavored with the perfect amount of fresh garlic, spices, fresh lime juice (and zest!), with a touch of crunch from red bell peppers, and a kick of jalapeno. You can even get a little wild and add a few black beans to the mix.

    One of our local grocery stores we like to shop at is Harris Teether. They have a fantastic selection of items, and I love their organic line! They are so affordable, and I love that they are free from GMO's, synthetic fertilizers/herbicides/pesticides, artificial preservatives/colors/flavors, antibiotics or growth hormones! There is a vast variety of items, 351 to be exact, and can even be priced below non-organic lines. You can find Harris Teeter Organic options from ketchup to tortillas to even juices!

    In my recipe for this Mexican street corn salad you can use Harris Teeter Organic fresh corn kernels in the frozen section, and I will share how you can saute the corn in a skillet to crisp it up. I also used a can of Harris Teether Organic black beans; they are so good!
