Chili Verde Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad)
Chili verde sausages add a wallop of flavor in my version of esquites, a kicked-up Mexican corn salad. We leave half the kernels raw for crunch, and quickly pickle shallots and chilis in lime juice for brightness. Half the Cotija cheese gets added for creaminess while the mixture is hot, and the other half is added as a topping once it’s cooled down slightly. —Cara Nicoletti, Seemore Meats & Veggies
