I was so excited to see this Vegan Street Corn Salad, a dairy-free version of Mexican street corn! I used to love the street corn, elote, at our favorite taco place. Now it’s out of the question with all the crema and cotija cheese on it. The vegan ranch dressing in this recipe tastes like a nice coating of butter; all of the flavors combined really do taste like street corn. This is a great little recipe that I will make time and time again. Happiness!
