This easy refreshing cowboy elote salsa is the perfect salsa for this summer, not to mention a good taco filler as well. I first had cowboy salsa at a cookout and loved it, over the years I started to add my own twist to it and decided to incorporate my favorite Mexican tree corn (elote) into the mix. This recipe is dairy free but you can definitely add 1-2 tbsp of mayo for a creamier taste, but trust me you won’t even need to.
You can store this salsa in the fridge up to 2-4 days in a container. Rubbermaids new EasyFindLids is the perfect way to store this salsa, this new Designer Series is the same classic EasyFindLids containers you love with a modern look, a beautiful limited-edition Skylight Blue lid color designed by Chris Loves Julia, that will match with any kitchen or if you simply just want to revamp your collection. The lids and base snap into place which means they stack together easily and no mess! Also if you hate searching for lids, don’t worry because one lid fits multiple bases which makes it so easy to store and is space saving!
