Take-out Tuesday, Roasted Corn Salad Cups
The glorious weather we’ve been having in the South
was begging for a food and friends gathering on the patio
late Saturday afternoon
I made a super simple super tasty appetizer that is fantastic for outdoor entertaining
A crunchy salad with roasted corn served in a Scoop tortilla chip bowl
These are not only light and totally tasty,
they are easy for guests to grab and pop in their mouths
AND
they are not mayonnaise based so it’s safe to leave them sitting out
I am currently crushing on the new bag salad combos available now
Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp is my favorite
It is a coleslaw/lettuce mix with carrots, crisp edamame, sunflower seeds,
and it comes with a delightful sweet onion vinaigrette
I added the kernels from 2 roasted ears of corn
and filled Tostitos Scoops mini chip bowls
Easy, healthy, light, your guests will rave!
You can drizzle them with a Lime Crema if desired,
but I found them delicious with just the dressing included in the salad bag
Possibilities are endless too,
this mix would be wonderful as a topping for beef or chicken tacos
tucked inside a lettuce wrap
Even a garnish or topping for fish or shrimp
OR
A BBQ Pork Quesadilla!
Sunday night’s supper was a quesadilla
made with leftover BBQ pork
and roasted corn salad from the party
I put some corn salad inside and on top!
Roasted Corn Salad Cups
Ingredients
Corn Salad Cups
- 2 ears fresh corn, roasted*
- 1 bag Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Salad mix
- Mini scoop chips like Tostitos Scoops
Lime Crema
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2-3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- garlic salt to taste
Instructions
Corn Salad Cups
- Stand corn upright in a deep salad bowl and cut kernels off cob with a knife, starting at the tip of the cob and slicing down. The kernels will fall directly into the bowl. Use the tip of your knife to break up any large sections, the kernels will further separate after tossing.
- Add salad and included topping ingredients to corn kernels. Toss with provided dressing.
- About 1 hour before serving, fill scoops with salad mix and arrange on a serving tray or platter. Drizzle with Lime Crema if desired. Making these a little ahead of time will allow the chips to soften just a bit.
Lime Crema
- Mix together and taste to adjust seasoning. Add more lime juice if you want it thinner. Drizzle over salads.
Notes
BBQ Pork Quesadilla with Roasted Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- cooked pulled pork or chopped pork or meat from leftover ribs
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Roasted Corn Salad
- 1/2 T butter
- olive oil
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Add tortilla and push down to coat bottom side, then immediately flip to coat other side.
- Let tortilla cook until bottom is golden and beginning to crisp.
- Remove tortilla and place on a work surface golden side up. Place meat in an even layer over 1/2 of tortilla. Drizzle evenly with BBQ sauce and then top with salad. Fold the remaining half of tortilla over filling. It will look like a giant taco with the uncooked side out.
- Return to skillet and cook until bottom side crisps and then flip over and cook the other side. Cut in half or 1/4s and serve with additional salad on top if desired.
Tomorrow I will share pictures of the patio party
and instructions for making a flowering cactus!
Summer fun has just begun!

Our weather has been perfect for outdoor entertaining. The roasted corn salad cups look fabulous, I may do this for Memorial Day. I am amazed at how you entertain with such ease, Jenna! I think we have jumped into hot summer weather this week and next! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you Pam, these little bites are going to make a regular appearance, everyone loved them 🙂
This is definitely a keeper. I love salads you can eat in a wonton and a scoop would even be easier! And I especially love salads you can leave out, even in the heat, for a party or whatever. I never make mayo potato salad in the summer, just in case we get to having fun and forget to put it back!
thank you Jeanie, we really enjoyed these!
What a great idea and so easy. My kind of appetizer. I love your presentation.
thank you Sharon, so easy and so good!
So many great ideas!! Those cute little cups look so delicious too.
Thanks Patty Anne!
I think you are related to Betty Crocker, as you come up with such amazing recipes Jenna. I can’t wait to try these little appetizers. Pretty and edible. Hugs
haha, I don’t know about that, but I do love to get creative in the kitchen 🙂 Thanks Kari!
I love the Salad Express bags too! Great idea to put them in a tortilla scoop! Yours look yummy with the added corn too. My favorite is the Sesame Ginger. I always add extra veggies and sometimes chicken if I am making a complete meal out of it. 😊
I’ll have to look for Sesame Ginger, sounds great, thanks Jill!
I love this corn salad dish and how easy it is! Looks delicious and I have to try this one. A wonderful menu for your friends to enjoy and how creative your melon centerpiece. We better enjoy the weather, it’s getting so hot already. Surprisingly hot for May………
Yes, I think summer is here! This is such a good salad, and it was such and easy and interesting appetizer bite, thanks Em~
This looks so delicious and so easy!! Our family reunion is coming up so I may have to make these. We’ve been having some wonderful, yet hot and humid days here in Virginia. Today and tomorrow is supposed to be less humid, thank goodness! 🙂
Thanks Michelle, yes so easy, and a healthier appetizer than the usual chips and dip!
I was just telling my co-worker I’m ready for some nice fresh corn on the cob:@)
Yes, yay for summer corn!
One of these days I’m coming to hang out and eat with you!!!!! <3 🙂
haha, come on down Jodi!
yum, yum, yum….I am anxious to be eating outdoors and enjoying the warm weather – it is slowly coming to us!!
thanks Patti, you’ll be dining alfresco in no time, we are in the 90s this week 😅
Love the look of those corn salad cups! Your recipes always look delicious and aren’t so complicated that the average cook like me can’t make them! Hugs!
I love easy, thanks Benita!
