A delicious and simple side dish to go with your favorite Mexican meal. It has all of the flavors that you expect, a little spicy with a touch of heat. It’s served cold which not only makes it a great side dish but also great dip/salsa.

What do you serve with your favorite Mexican meal? Refried beans and rice? That seems to be the go-to side dish for every Mexican meal ever served.

Don’t get me wrong I love refried beans and rice, but they’re a little boring. I want something different, something with lots of flavor and simple to make.

This roasted corn salad is all that and more. It’s super simple to make, the hardest part is roasting the vegetables and even that’s pretty easy. It’s packed full of Mexican flavors; cumin, chili, cilantro, jalapeno, everything that you expect. And what makes it so different is that it is served cold, which helps cool your palette. 

This is by far one of my favorite side dishes, especially when summertime rolls around and we’re grilling up Mexican food. It compliments every Mexican dish imaginable, it’s refreshing, and it’s more exciting than those boring old beans and rice.

Simple Roasted Mexican Corn Salad

Step 1: Prepare the corn, red pepper and jalapeno.

Corn – Shuck and clean the corn. Don’t worry about being to fussy, by getting every last piece of silk, the grill will burn them off. Place the cleaned corn on a hot grill, giving it a quarter turn every couple of minutes, until the corn is slightly charred and cooked through. Approximately 10 minutes. Let the corn cool, then remove the kernals from the cob.

Place the pepper on a hot grill, giving it a quarter turn every couple of minutes, until the pepper is charred and soft. Approximately 10-15 minutes.

Place the peppers in an air tight container, like a Ziploc bag, to steam for 15 minutes. This will help to loosen the skin from the pepper.

Remove the stem and seeds, then peel away the skin and dice.

Place the jalapeno in an air tight container, like you did with the red pepper. Let it steam for 15 minutes.

    I love this recipe, especially because it’s a healthy way to have a dish with some Mexican flavor. No heavy cream or tons of queso, just beans and roasted veggies. Perhaps I would top it with spicy salsa instead of just chili powder. I’ll be sharing this on Twitter and Pinterest.
