Spicy Elote Salad

Santé Nuts - Spicy Elote Salad with Inferno Almonds

This fiery summer salad is inspired by Mexican street corn. It's spicy, a little sweet, and super flavorful. Most of the heat comes from a topping of our Inferno Almonds, seasoned with a powerful blend of peppers that will leave your mouth watering for more. 

 

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 ears corn, shucked
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 cups butter lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • ½ cup Santé Inferno Almonds, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. Prepare a hot grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high. Brush corn with oil, then grill, turning frequently, until charred on all sides. When slightly cooled, cut corn kernels off cobs.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt to make the dressing.
  3. In a large serving bowl toss together lettuce, corn, green onion, cilantro, cotija or feta, almonds, and jalapeño. Add dressing and toss to coat.
