The advantage of making Mexican street
corn in salad form is that it's easier to bring to a potluck barbecue, and you won't get corn stuck in your teeth and all over your face (one reason my kids don't like corn on the cob).
Not exact matches
Esquites is basically that
in salad, bowl
form; it is less messy for sure (a good alternative for first dates because who really wants to exchange likes and dislikes with mayonnaise and

Other non-meat-nut-egg protein ideas: cheese
in all its
forms, yogurts, bean - and -
corn type
salads, baked tortilla chips and a bean dip, edamame, etc..

corn on the cob and my Mom's version of potato
salad (which I will be posting as part of Sunday Supper
in early May!)
