Get ready for the most refreshing and satisfying summer salad! Our Elote Salad is fast, easy, and no-heat, perfect for keeping your kitchen cool this summer. It's amazing for potlucks, but be warned: everyone's going to devour it!

This healthy take on Mexican street corn delivers all those nostalgic flavors without the butter, cheese, and heavy ingredients. Using fire-roasted corn, red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, tomatoes, jicama, and fresh cilantro, it's incredibly fresh and crunchy. The creamy cashew-based sauce ties everything together perfectly.

The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility, use whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand. Don't like cilantro? Try parsley or fresh basil instead. Want it less spicy? Swap the jalapeño for bell pepper. The creamy sauce can even be made with tofu, hemp hearts, or white beans for different flavor profiles.
