Try our Mexican fattoush, then check out our tacos el pastor, classic nachos, tomato salsa, refried beans, Mexican chicken mole and more Mexican-style recipes.

If you prefer a no-cook version you can skip charring the sweetcorn but it does add an extra smokiness that is worth the small effort. You can prep most of the salad ahead, simply add the dressing, corn chips and feta when ready to serve.

Method

  • step 1

    Put a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Spread out the corn in an even layer and cook for a few minutes until lightly charred on one side, then turn and repeat on the other side. When golden all over, toss through the Tajín, take off the heat and allow to cool.

  • step 2

    Put the beans in a large salad bowl with the onion, cucumber, radishes and corn. Gently fold through the mango and lettuce.

  • step 3

    Make the vinaigrette by mixing the mustard, lime juice and oil until it has emulsified. Stir through the jalapeño and coriander, and season to taste.

  • step 4

    Lightly break up the tortilla chips over the salad and spoon over the dressing. Gently toss, then top with the feta, a few coriander sprigs and a drizzle of hot sauce, if you like.
