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.

Homemade tostadas are wonderful easy meals. Your corn salad would give these a great flavor.

I’d like this for lunch tomorrow please! This looks super-fresh and light. I love all of the flavours! The beautifully applied sour cream is making me drool -of course, I’d get right in there and make a mess while enjoying it! Great recipe, as always. So unique!

Definitely my kind of salad! I love anything Mexican!
Michele @ Flavor Mosaic
Yum! This is my kind of food.
Debi
Sarah @ The Magical Slow Cooker, that’s actually a great compliment to me! I don’t call my blog a vegetarian blog because this is just how I eat, and I realized yesterday that I have been a veggie for 25 years now! WOW! My husband eats meat occasionally, but will eat whatever I cook. So, we don’t usually think in terms of the labels, this is just how we eat. And, if people are eating yummy food and they don’t notice that there’s no meat, that makes me very happy! So, thanks so much for the sweet words! That means a lot to me! 🙂

Hi Debi! I’m stopping over from Let’s Get Real today. My daughter is eating less and less meat all of the time and we have found that Mexican dishes like this are a great way for her to get all of the nutrition she needs to grow (she is 9) and all of the flavor she likes. I’ve been craving corn salad. I can’t wait to try that!
Debi
Christina, when I went vegetarian I was 18 years old. I replaced most of the meat in my diet with cheese. Then, years later, I found out that I had high cholesterol (not really a surprise). But, I truly believe that as long as you keep the amount of cheese in check a vegetarain diet is a super healthy way to eat (at least it is for me!). I love Mexican because you can get all the protein you need, and all those fresh veggies make the dishes super yummy. I’m happy to hear she’s doing well with her eating and know you’ll love this salad. 🙂
