Elote Salad with Missouri’s Own Infused BBQ Seasoning

We’re proud to present you this elote-inspired corn salad, infused with a little something extra: Missouri’s Own BBQ Seasoning—a thoughtfully crafted blend of spices that combines our favorite parts of Missouri’s BBQ tradition with everyone’s favorite plant.

We paired this incredible infused seasoning with a cold dish intentionally. The goal is to use it as a finishing touch in order to preserve the cannabinoids while still making the flavor POP.

We hope you enjoy!

Serves: 4

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total THC (recommended): ~5–6 mg per serving

• ½ teaspoon per serving = 6.32 mg THC
• 2 teaspoons total across the recipe = ~25.3 mg THC

Ingredients

For the salad:

• 4 ears fresh corn, husked
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 large ripe avocado, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (mix of colors for visual appeal)
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup finely diced red onion (optional)

For the dressing:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp sour cream or Mexican crema
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• 1 small clove garlic, finely grated
• 2 Tbsp crumbled cotija or feta cheese
• Salt to taste

For finishing:

• 2 teaspoons Missouri’s Own Infused BBQ Seasoning (total = ~25 mg THC)
• Extra cotija, cilantro, and lime wedges for garnish

Directions

1. Char the corn:
   Brush corn lightly with olive oil and grill or roast over high heat until kernels are blistered and lightly charred (2–3 minutes per side).
   
2. Cut the kernels:
   Let cool slightly, then slice kernels from the cobs and transfer to a large bowl.
   
3. Make the dressing:
   In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic, cotija, and salt until smooth.
   
4. Assemble the salad:
   Add avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and red onion to the corn. Pour in dressing and gently fold until coated.
   
5. Plate and finish:
   Divide salad into four bowls. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of infused BBQ seasoning evenly over each bowl — do not stir it in. This keeps the cannabinoids active and lets each bite deliver bursts of flavor and potency.
   Garnish with extra cotija, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
