Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Mexican Street Corn Salad.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large nonstick skillet over high heat and melting the Country Crock Spread until it sizzles.

Next, add the fresh corn kernels along with a pinch of salt, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet; you may need to cook in batches.

Stir the corn occasionally, allowing it to develop a delightful char for about five minutes.

Once the corn is slightly caramelized, introduce the chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, and ground cumin, cooking for an additional minute until the aroma fills the air.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the creamy mayonnaise, vibrant cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and zesty lime juice, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, and for an extra touch, feel free to garnish with additional cilantro.
