After you try this Mexican Street Corn Chicken Pasta Salad, try Strawberry Avocado Chicken Pasta Salad, Greek Avocado Chicken Salad, or Pesto Chicken Pasta Salad.
Side or main — I love to whip up this salad for backyard bbqs and family get togethers because it can feed a lot of people as a side dish, and it’s a total crowd pleaser, but it’s quick and easy enough that whenever I get a craving for it I don’t hesitate to make it for dinner on a busy weeknight. It’s light enough for summer, filling enough for a full meal. Plus, it’s the perfect potluck dish! So easy — This dish can be pulled together in 30 minutes (or less)! Just throw together some fresh baby spinach, cooked pasta noodles (I usually use bowtie but feel free to sub any other short pasta noodle here), shredded chicken (YES, rotisserie chicken is perfect!), onions, cilantro, black beans, avocado, cotija or queso fresco cheese (I’ve used feta in a pinch too and it works great) and of course you can’t forget the grilled corn. Grilled corn — If you aren’t grilling your corn on the cob, you aren’t living my friends. I discovered the magic of grilling corn a few years ago and have never looked back. I’m not kidding when I say I think I’ve boiled corn ONE time in the past three years. And to answer that question I know you’ll have: No you do not need to boil the corn before putting it on the grill, the grill cooks it through.
