Elote Pasta Salad Recipe (mexican Street Corn)
  1. Start by cooking your pasta in a large pot according to the package directions. Be sure to salt your pasta water! If you prefer al dente pasta, cook it 1-2 minutes less than the box calls for. When the pasta is done cooking, drain and toss it in a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from sticking together and let it cool.

  2. If using fresh ears of corn, cook using your preferred cooking method and remove corn kernels from the cob. I coat mine with olive oil, salt, and pepper, wrap in foil, and roast it in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes. If you have a grill, that's even better for the flavor of this dish. If using frozen corn, heat it in a skillet on medium-high heat until it is thawed and warmed, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. In a small bowl, make the Elote dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice and spices. Mix well to combine with a whisk or spoon.

  4. To assemble the salad, add the cooled pasta, corn, cilantro, red onion, cotija cheese, and jalapeno to a large bowl. Pour the dressing on top and toss to combine.
