This simple as can be Taco Bar Corn Salad is great to serve as a side dish (you may need to double the recipe). I love any type of corn when I’m having a Mexican or Tex Mex Meal.
Another great way for serving this is as a topping for nachos or as a dip.

Some people might like to add Jalapeno pepper - to taste
If you don't use Sea Salt in your cooking, consider it
Just a few easy steps always using fresh items.
Fresh limes.
Freshly chopped Cilantro – only leaves.
Fresh grape or cherry tomatoes, maybe consider multi-color for added color.
Pin it for Later.
Maybe a little more Cilantro, or of course Bacon would never be bad.
This is a great side item for my Ultimate Skillet Nachos – or even as a topping.
Maybe you want to add a Creamy Margarita with it too.
Although this is a great Cinco de Mayo recipe, having your Taco Bar Corn Salad, Skillet Nachos, and Creamy Margarita – you are ready for any summertime party.
Do you need a couple more nacho ideas?
So easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I love this for a dip too.
