Makes 4 servings Dressing: 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat @good_culture) 3 tb grated cotija cheese 1 lime, juiced 2 tsp Trader Joe’s Elote seasoning (or 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp chipotle) 2 cloves garlic Salad: 4 persian cucumber, thinly sliced 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped 1/2 red onion, finely diced 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed 1 tb Trader Joe’s Elote seasoning (or 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp chipotle) First, make the roasted corn. Spray a non-stick skillet with avocado oil or spray of choice over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the corn and elote seasoning. Stir, cooking for 6-7 minutes until roasted and fragrant. Remove from heat. Next, chop the rest of the salad ingredients and add them to a large bowl along with the roasted corn. Finally, make the dressing. Add all ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Pour over the salad, toss well, and enjoy. #elotesalad #cucumbersalad #mexicanelotesalad #viralrecipes #highproteinrecipes
