By hola | Published | No Comments
Food has a way of bringing people together, whether it’s around a dining table or a kitchen counter. In the spirit of connection, Hola Cultura collaborated with GreenRoots Teaching Kitchen and its coordinator Jojo Emerson to make Mexican street corn salad, a twist on a beloved snack eaten throughout Mexico. This dish is meant to be enjoyed by many and blends colorful produce and smoky flavors, creating a vibrant taste with each bite.
Mexican street corn is one of the many recipes that GreenRoots Teaching Kitchen has perfected. As an environmental justice organization, GreenRoots provides a variety of community resources, including free cooking and nutrition classes.
“We built out the teaching kitchen to be a space for folks to come together to not only share recipes, but build community,” Emerson told our team when we met to cook this recipe together.
¡A Comer! is a space designed for sharing recipes and the joy of cooking with our community. Do you have a recipe you’d like to share? We welcome organizations, chefs and home cooks to join our interns in the kitchen or contribute a recipe to our column.
