Sriracha Lime Corn Salad

Sriracha Lime Corn Salad
A quick, easy and tasty corn salad with sriracha and lime!

Summer is the season for salads and I am a huge fan of corn salads! Not all salads start off with lettuce and corn makes a great base for a salad like this one, especially when the corn is either grilled on the BBQ or lightly charred in a skillet. The grilling or charring adds a nice smokiness to the corn in addition to caramelizing it which brings out it’s natural sweetness! Along with the corn this salad contains diced red bell peppers and green onions and the dressing is a simple combination of mayonnaise, sriracha and lime juice! The mayo makes this salad nice and creamy and the spicy heat from the chili sauce goes well with the sweet corn and sour lime juice! The salad is garnished with cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese (or queso fresco, or feta)!
