This year Cinco de Mayo may be different, but we can still celebrate at home by making our favorite tacos served with guacamole<\/a>, pico de gallo<\/a>, and all kinds of salsas<\/a>. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, I\u2019m all about antojitos mexicanos<\/a><\/em>, and today\u2019s corn salad is proof of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the delicious Mexican esquites, my warm sweet corn salad is made with fresh sweet corn, saut\u00e9e in melted butter, and for an extra kick of flavor, I seasoned it with Knorr\u00ae Selects\u2122 granulated bouillon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To dress the salad, I used Hellmann’s\u00ae Mayonnaise. Hellmann\u2019s mayonnaise has always been a staple in my kitchen, not only because of its real taste but also because there\u2019s less waste: it now comes in 100% recycled bottles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are esquites?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"toppings<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Esquites are made of fresh corn, with chopped onions and minced garlic all cooked in melted butter and seasoned with chili peppers (serranos or poblanos), an herb called epazote, and a squeeze of lime juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cup is then topped with either crema mexicana<\/em> or mayo, either queso fresco<\/em> crumbles or grated cotija cheese (or both), chili pepper powder, and the cherry on top is a wedge of lime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Corn vs. Frozen Corn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"a<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I use fresh sweet corn on the cob because I can\u2019t resist its freshness and on top of that, our Florida corn season is currently in full swing. However, this salad can be perfectly made with frozen corn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can esquites be made with canned sweet corn kernel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Knorr<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Technically, the answer is yes. However, I\u2019m not sure that canned sweet corn kernels have the \u201cpersonality\u201d required for this flavorful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
