I am looking forward to bringing the corn season every summer -to bring to sweet, juicy fresh corn and brings memories of Backyard grilling with my family. In our region there was a unique type of corn called “Taber Mais”, which was as sweet as sweets and hardly needed butter (although we would of course still be passed on with dedication).
One of my favorite methods to enjoy this summer money is so elote. I remember the first time when I tried this juicy, spicy, grilled corn court on a family trip to Mexico. I immediately fell in love with the combination of corn of sugar, salty cheese and spicy tajín, all of which were brought together with a creamy, pigeon dressing. While I love gnawing on a corn on the cob, my husband prefers the kernels from the Kobsters, so I started to make the salad version of elote served at home in a cup.
I was recently invited to a summer spot luck and decided to fit my favorite corn court in a pasta salad to feed a lot. I knew that I was able to make a few simple adjustments without losing the essence of the original court.

What kind of pasta to use
My favorite noodle shape for pasta salad is quadry, Spiralal Cavatappi. It has exactly the right amount of corners and angles to stick to their favorite associations and sauces. I like to use the Goodles brand pasta for a small protein and fiber in my dishes (you call your cava pappi Loopdy loos), but I will pick up often Brand Delallo as well as.
If you think of pasta for your pasta salad, look for options with combing and grooves to hold onto the sauce and keep staying away from smooth, long pastes such as spaghetti or angel hair. I like to use Rotini, Penne, Fusilli or Farfalle (sheet) if I don’t have a cava pappi on hand.
Make it your own
- Add a little color with quartered cherry tomatoes
- Take it sharp by adding a few chopped fresh or pickled Jalapeños
- For a bit of crunch, I love to cover my salad with crispy fried onions (the way you would insert into your casserole with green beans!)
