FAQ
Can I use frozen or canned corn?
Yes! Just thaw frozen corn or drain canned corn before using. For best flavor, grill it if possible.

What if I don’t have cotija cheese?
Feta is a great substitute with a similar crumbly texture and salty bite.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes — make and chill up to a day ahead. For best crunch, don’t mix in the dressing until just before serving.
