How To Make Vegan Mexican Street Corn Salad

vegan mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: regular mayonnaise

Avocado adds creaminess while being healthier.

cotija cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: feta cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Grill corn on the cob until charred, about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Let corn cool slightly, then cut kernels off the cob into a large bowl.

Add finely chopped red onion and jalapeño to the bowl.

Mix in chopped cilantro and halved cherry tomatoes.

In a separate bowl, combine lime juice, vegan mayonnaise, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and toss to combine.

Fold in diced avocado gently to avoid mashing.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with green onions and additional cilantro.
