This healthy corn side dish is just 152 calories per cup, and does not contain all the heavy mayonnaise a traditional Mexican corn salad will have.
If you do prefer the creamy version though, we have a great option supplied to you below… and it adds just 6 calories per serving.
Special Tip: We wanted to make a mayo free corn salad, and this healthy corn salad is so fresh and perfect as is. If you prefer a creamy version, add in the greek yogurt! It's a great mayo swap and actually boosts metabolism too!
