Then assemble two of these Mexican Street Corn Salad Kits.

They are awesome because the veggies are already chopped and washed.

Plus the dressing and toppings packets are sooooo convenient.

Finally top the salads with the cooked chicken and corn 🙂

I also added cheese to my Air Fryer Street Corn Chicken Salads 🙂

Plus a little more chili powder to make them look extra street corn-ish.
