Video: Kasha Elote Salad

When the weather gets warmer certain parts of Chicago perk up with street vendors selling elotes, a delicious grilled corn treat slathered with cream, cheese, chili and lime. It is incredibly addicting and delicious!

This recipe for Kasha Elotes Salad takes the favorite elotes and turns it into a full meal by adding kasha, an ancient grain made of buckwheat kernels. With the addition of a few more ingredients like grilled poblano pepper and red onion, this salad is not your typical side salad, for sure!
