Whenever we’re hosting friends or family, I am always super focused on the side dishes. I think it’s what makes the meal really interesting, both visually and flavor-wise, and to be honest, surround me with 5 different salads and I’m a happy camper.

So I’m sharing this with you, but it’s definitely a non-recipe recipe. Measure with your heart, flavor it to your liking! It’s a really lovely salad and makes the table so colorful!

I grilled the corn inside over medium heat and then just sliced the charred kernels off. Added two cans of black beans, a bunch of quartered grape tomatoes, red onion, pickled red onion, cojita, cilantro, lime juice, elote seasoning and scallions, with a dash of red wine vinegar and olive oil and lots of salt. Avocado would be another great addition!
