Tostada with Mexican Corn Salad

As promised, here’s a super yummy, fresh, healthy, and fun Tostada with Mexican Corn Salad from Easter! I love Mexican Food, and the addition of the Corn Salad to a tostada (which can sometimes be a little heavy), is just delicious!

I really like the bright light salad. It’s great on tacos. You’ll love dipping chips into it and eating it like a dip. It could be a salsa or a salad.

I thought it would be a great tostada, and it really was!

You’ll love the addition of the shredded iceberg lettuce in this one. It’s crunchy texture really adds a fun aspect to the tostada.

But, feel free to use any kind of lettuce you like; darker leafy greens will add more nutrition, and we usually use spinach or romaine.

And, yes, spinach would be awesome in this salad as well.

Homemade

If you’d like to make your own salsa, I have a bunch of recipes.

You might like to try an Enchilada Salsa or a Traditional Salsa using canned tomatoes.

My favorite salsa is one I make with roasted tomatoes.

Or, maybe you’re looking for a Salsa Verde to make it a little more exotic!

Which ever you use, or even if you use a jarred salsa, it’s all yummy!

Serving suggestions

See the photo above with the drizzled on sour cream? I’ll be posting a tip on a way to serve sour cream to look like that.

It’s really easy, and I served the sour cream this way at Easter dinner.

It’s a great way to keep the sauce mess to a minimum.

Keep it vegan by leaving out the cheese and sour cream.

With the black beans, refried beans, and corn in the tostada, there’s no need to add additional protein, but if you want, you could add shredded chicken or beef for a meaty tostada.

Try my Slow Cooker Lentil Taco Salad in a tostada as well.

Tostada with Mexican Corn Salad is a great fun meal.
