Mexican Street Corn Salad

This Mexican street corn salad with chipotle dressing makes such a great BBQ side! It’s spicy, tangy, and super easy to make. Plus, it’s entirely vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

For the Street Corn Salad:
• 2 cups corn kernels either fresh or frozen
• 2 cups of Organic mixed greens
• 2 red bell peppers
• 5 green onions
• juice from one lime
• 1 large avocado
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
• 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon vegan chipotle sauce
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

For the vegan tofu “cheese”:
• 5 oz very firm tofu
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. Dice the red bell pepper and the avocado. Cut the green onions into rings and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
2. Combine the corn, the red bell pepper, the green onions, and the avocado in a large bowl. If you want to make an authentic Mexican street corn salad, use grilled corn instead of boiled corn. You could also cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. But for a quicker version, I’d recommend boiled corn. Either frozen or fresh.
3. Combine with vegan mayonnaise, the lime juice, the smoked paprika, the cumin, and the chipotle sauce and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the corn salad.
4. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
5. In a small bowl, crumble the firm tofu with your hands. Stir in the vegan mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle the crumbled tofu on top of the salad and serve immediately.

Spinach Blueberry Salad

This Spinach Blueberry Salad recipe is a delicious summer (or any time of the year) salad made with a mix of fresh berries, baby spinach leaves, feta cheese, and red onion. It is drizzled with an easy to make lemon-olive oil-mustard base dressing.
We love ours topped off with pecans but almonds would work just as well. Whether you serve it as a side dish for 4 or as an entree for 2, it is the perfect blend of savory and sweet.

Ingredients

For The Salad Dressing:
•3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
•1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
•1 teaspoon dijon mustard
•1 clove of garlic peeled and minced
•½ teaspoon kosher salt
•¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
•For The Blueberry Spinach Salad:
•6 cups baby spinach washed and spin-dried
•¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
•1 ½ cups blueberries
•½ cup strawberries or raspberries washed and hulled
•½ cup crumbled feta cheese
•½ cup pecans or almonds lightly roasted

Instructions

To make the blueberry salad dressing: Place all ingredients in a mason jar, put the lid and give it a good shake.
To Make the salad: Place baby spinach, red onion, blueberries, strawberries (or raspberries), feta, and pecans in a large bowl. Drizzle it with the dressing. Give it a gentle toss.
Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary. Serve.
Notes
A Few Helpful Notes: As in most recipes that use feta cheese as a garnish, I recommend tasting the saltiness of the cheese before adding salt into the dressing. You can then adjust the amount accordingly.
If you have in on hand, a splash of raspberry vinaigrette (approximately 1 tablespoon) takes this salad to the next level.
I highly recommend spending a few extra minutes to toast pecans before adding them into the salad. Doing so adds another layer of earthy flavor to the overall recipe. Also, you can swap pecans with other nuts like sliced almonds, walnuts, or even hazelnuts.
To Make Ahead: You can make this blueberry spinach salad a day before. To do so, prepare the salad ingredients and dressing and store them in separate airtight containers. Drizzle the salad with the dressing right before serving. Give it a toss and serve.
To Store leftovers: Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge up to 2 days.
