This spicy corn salad takes the flavors of elote (authentic Mexican street corn) and turns them into a fun side dish, or you can add tortilla chips and serve it as an appetizer. Garnish with additional cilantro and cotija cheese if desired.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Country Crock Spread
  • 6 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 2 medium fresh jalapeno peppers , seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 cups mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cups chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons grated cotija cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
