Caribbean-Latin Elote Street Corn Salad

Ingredients

• 4 cups roasted corn kernels
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 tbsp Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend
• 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (optional, if you want extra zing)
• 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Toss in the roasted corn kernels and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the corn gets a little char and smoky love. That’s where the magic starts—don’t rush this step, capisce?
2. Remove the corn from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let it cool just enough so you’re not burning your fingers.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend until smooth and lively. This blend is the secret sauce—it brings citrus, cumin, and chili heat all in one glorious hit.
4. Add the chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño to the corn. Pour the creamy sauce over and fold gently to coat every kernel with that tropical punch.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—more Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend or a squeeze of lime juice if you want to crank the brightness.
6. Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese on top for that salty, crumbly finish that’ll make your taste buds shout, 'Mamma mia!'
7. Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors marry like a Jersey-Italian and Caribbean love story.
8. Serve chilled or at room temp as the ultimate side for your Latin or Caribbean feast. Remember, a great side is the unsung hero—don’t sleep on it!
