One of my favorite things about the county fairs and rodeos in my neck of the woods is the food. And I\u2019m not talking about cotton candy and hot dogs.\u00a0 No sir, here the fair food is much better and much of that is thanks to the local Hispanic population.\u00a0 Street tacos, fresh fruit sprinkled with Tajin, horchata…you name it; it\u2019s all available.\u00a0 But my favorite fair food has got to be the Grilled Mexican Street Corn.\u00a0 Sweet corn on the cob is grilled until charred and smoky, slathered in salty mayonnaise and topped with spices and fresh Cotija cheese.\u00a0 It\u2019s so good!!\u00a0 It\u2019s also so messy, so I\u2019ve deconstructed this dish into a salad form, which meets not only my food cravings but also my need for tidiness (I am a bit of a clean freak).<\/span><\/p>\n

To make my Mexican Street Corn Salad, shuck 4 cobs of corn, coat the corn in a little olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.\u00a0 Heat a grill to 400 deg F and grill the corn for about 10 minutes, until charred and tender.\u00a0 Allow the corn to cool to the touch, then cut the kernels from the cobs.\u00a0 Place the corn in a large bowl along with \u00bd cup of chopped scallions (2 scallions), one deseeded and finely chopped jalapeno, one minced garlic clove, \u00bc cup of chopped cilantro, \u00bd teaspoon of cumin, \u00bd teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar and \u00bd cup of mayonnaise.\u00a0 Mix the ingredients together.\u00a0 Eat the salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.\u00a0 This recipe easily serves 6-8 people.<\/span><\/p>\n
