Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Elote Salad.
Step 1
Start by gathering all the essential ingredients for your delicious salad.
Step 2
To elevate the flavor and moisture of the corn, soak it in cold water for at least one hour.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, hot sauce, chile powder, and paprika until well blended.
Step 4
Chill this zesty chile-lime mayonnaise in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad.
Step 5
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat, lightly oiling the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 6
After draining the soaked corn, place it on the grill away from direct heat.
Step 7
Grill the corn for 15 to 20 minutes, turning it occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, shuck it and return the kernels to the grill, cooking them over direct heat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until they achieve a lovely char.
Step 9
Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool completely.
Step 10
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels with Cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions.
Step 11
Gently fold in the chilled chile-lime mayonnaise, ensuring everything is beautifully mixed.
Step 12
Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this refreshing salad that brings a taste of summer to your table!.
