his Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad is a flavorful and refreshing twist on the classic Mexican street food, “Elote”. Combining grilled corn, tender pasta, creamy dressing, and the bold flavors of cotija cheese, cilantro, and lime, this salad is perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, or as a side dish for any meal. It’s easy to make and absolutely bursting with flavor, with a hint of spice that can be adjusted to your preference.
