Spicy Corn Salad aka Monica's Favorite
This side dish is so easy I hesitate to even call it a recipe because it really is just throwing a few things together in a bowl. The amount of flavor it packs will have your friends and family wishing you made more. I first had this dish at a work potluck about 15 years ago. It was made by my former coworker who hails from Texas. I took the recipe and added a few steps to make it my own. You can serve it as a side dish with fajitas or tacos or whatever Mexican inspired plate you may be cooking up. I have given the recipe the subtitle Monica's Favorite because 1.) it is her favorite and 2.) she ALWAYS calls me for the recipe. This makes me laugh and you'll laugh too once you see how easy it is. Without further ado I give you Spicy Corn Salad aka Monica's Favorite.
Ingredients
1 16 oz package of frozen corn thawed and strained (You can used canned too. I just prefer frozen)
1-3 finely diced pickled jalapenos
1-3 TBS of jalapeno pickle juice
1-2 TBS of salsa
2-3 TBS of mayonnaise
salt to taste
Throw all of the above into a bowl and stir. You can adjust the heat factor but adding more or less of the diced jalapenos. If you are feeling extra frisky you can add some freshly chopped cilantro to brighten it up. If you do not have mayo fear not! I have used sour cream and the results were similar. I prefer the mayonnaise version. This recipe is just a building block take it and make it your own. Enjoy!
