This is the salad of the season. It's basically that sweet and smoky Mexican elote street corn in salad form with a citrus kick from our Chile Margarita blend. Grilled corn on the cob gets a salty-herby glow-up that's bright and light, and the perfect summer side. Don't have time to grill up that corn? You can also use canned or frozen corn in a pinch.
