It\u2019s not just about adding all the flavors of Mexican street corn to pasta\u2014it\u2019s about getting the right balance of texture, richness, acidity, salt, and heat in every bite.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-the-pasta-holds-the-creamy-dressing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pasta Holds the Creamy Dressing<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I use rotini because those little twists are perfect for pasta salad. They catch the creamy dressing and seasoning instead of letting it all settle at the bottom of the bowl. That means you get a little dressing, corn, Cotija, and jalape\u00f1o in every bite.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-the-sweet-creamy-acidic-balance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The sweet + creamy + acidic balance<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweet corn and a creamy dressing can become a little heavy on their own. Fresh lime juice cuts through that richness and adds just enough acidity to brighten the salad. It keeps the dressing tasting fresh and makes you want to go back for another bite.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-the-salty-spicy-contrast\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The salty + spicy contrast<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cotija cheese adds a salty bite that balances the sweetness of the corn, while the jalape\u00f1o and cayenne add just enough heat to keep the flavors interesting. You can easily adjust the amount of these ingredients depending on how much heat you like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a pasta salad that&#8217;s creamy without feeling too heavy, sweet without being overly sweet, and flavorful without any one ingredient taking over. That&#8217;s exactly what I want in a summer pasta salad\u2014and why this one has become a favorite for cookouts and gatherings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1598\" alt=\"Ingredients for Mexican street corn pasta salad including rotini pasta, corn, jalape\u00f1o, red onion, cilantro, cotija, and chili-lime dressing\" class=\"wp-image-75005 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-ingredients-1-150x200.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"ingredients-for-elote-pasta-salad-why-theyre-important\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients for Elote Pasta Salad &amp; Why They&#8217;re Important<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favorite things about this street corn pasta salad is that every ingredient contributes something special. Nothing is included just because it&#8217;s traditional\u2014each ingredient helps create the balance of flavors that makes this pasta salad so irresistible.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rotini Pasta<\/strong> &#8211; Rotini is my favorite pasta for this recipe because all those little twists catch the creamy dressing, Cotija cheese, and seasonings. Every bite is full of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh Sweet Corn<\/strong> &#8211; Fresh corn is the heart of this recipe. During the summer, nothing compares to sweet corn that&#8217;s in season. The juicy kernels add natural sweetness and a little crunch that balances the creamy dressing beautifully. While frozen corn can work in a pinch, fresh corn gives this salad its signature flavor and texture. For even more elote-inspired flavor, grill the corn for a few minutes before cutting it off the cob. The light char adds another layer of taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar <\/strong>&#8211; Not for the salad but to cook the corn! I add \u00bd to 1 cup of sugar\u00a0to the cooking water\u2014not to make the corn sugary, but to help enhance its natural sweetness. Fresh corn begins losing some of its sweetness soon after it&#8217;s picked. If you&#8217;re using grocery store corn, this simple trick can make a noticeable difference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red Onion<\/strong> &#8211; Red onion adds a little crunch and a mild bite that keeps the salad from tasting too rich. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the diced onion in cold water for about 10 minutes before adding it to the salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jalape\u00f1os <\/strong>&#8211; Jalape\u00f1os add gentle heat without overwhelming the other flavors. For a milder salad, remove the seeds and ribs before dicing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh Cilantro<\/strong> &#8211; Fresh cilantro adds brightness and freshness that balances the creamy dressing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cotija Cheese<\/strong> &#8211; Cotija is one of the signature flavors of classic Mexican street corn. Its salty, tangy, and crumbly texture helps balance the sweetness of the corn and ties the entire salad together. Reserve a little extra for sprinkling over the top just before serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise<\/strong> &#8211; Mayonnaise creates the rich base of the dressing and gives it that classic street corn flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour Cream<\/strong> &#8211; Sour cream lightens the dressing and adds a pleasant tang that keeps it from feeling heavy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh Lime Juice <\/strong>&#8211; Fresh lime juice is one ingredient I never skip. It brightens every flavor in the salad and balances the richness of the dressing. Since limes vary quite a bit in size and juiciness, start with one large lime (about 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice), then taste and add more if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne<\/strong>, <strong>salt and pepper<\/strong> &#8211; These pantry spices add warmth and depth without overpowering the fresh ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taj\u00edn <\/strong>&#8211; It&#8217;s a Mexican spice with dehydrated lime, chili peppers and salt.

Instead, it helps enhance the corn&#8217;s natural sweetness so it really shines in the finished salad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps bring out the corn&#8217;s natural sweetness, especially when fresh corn isn&#8217;t at its peak.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-taste-the-corn-before-you-finish-the-salad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taste the Corn Before You Finish the Salad<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s one step I never skip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&#8217;ve cut the kernels off the cob, taste a few.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some ears are incredibly sweet, while others need just a little help. Since corn naturally varies throughout the season, a quick taste lets you adjust the flavors before mixing everything together.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-if-your-corn-needs-a-little-help\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">If Your Corn Needs a Little Help\u2026<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the corn isn&#8217;t quite as sweet as you&#8217;d hoped, don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drizzle\u00a01 to 2 teaspoons of honey or pure maple syrup\u00a0over the warm kernels and toss gently to coat before adding them to the salad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won&#8217;t make the salad taste sweet.

Giving each ingredient a little attention along the way makes all the difference.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-make-the-salad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Salad<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. <strong>Cook the Pasta<\/strong><br \/>Bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta just slightly past al dente so it stays tender after chilling and doesn&#8217;t absorb too much of the dressing . Avoid overcooking it, since the pasta will continue to soften as it sits in the dressing. Drain thoroughly and rinse briefly under cool water to stop the cooking, then set aside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Cook the Corn<br \/><\/strong>You can cook the corn while you&#8217;re cooking the pasta to save time. It just requires another pot on the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in \u00bd to 1 cup of sugar. Add the corn, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool before cutting the kernels from the cob.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Prepare the Vegetables<br \/><\/strong>Dice the red onion and jalape\u00f1os, chop the cilantro, and crumble the Cotija cheese if it isn&#8217;t already crumbled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a milder salad, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalape\u00f1os before chopping.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-make-the-dressing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Dressing<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. <strong>Make the Dressing<br \/><\/strong>In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. <strong>Combine Everything<\/strong><br \/>Add the cooled pasta, corn, onion, jalape\u00f1os, cilantro, and most of the Cotija cheese to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. <strong>Taste and Adjust<\/strong><br \/>Don&#8217;t skip this simple step. Taste the salad before serving. Depending on the sweetness of your corn and the saltiness of your Cotija, you may want another squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, or a little more chili powder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small adjustment here can completely change the finished salad.\u00a0You&#8217;re looking for a balance of sweet, tangy, salty, creamy, and just a little heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Chill Before Serving<br \/><\/strong>Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight). Serve straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for the creamiest texture. Just before serving, sprinkle with the remaining Cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and Taj\u00edn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flavors in this elote pasta salad become even better as they have time to come together.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1598\" alt=\"Mexican street corn pasta salad in a white bowl surrounded by lime wedges, jalape\u00f1o, cotija cheese, and tajin\" class=\"wp-image-75013 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-wide-with-limes-1-150x200.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"common-mistakes-to-avoid\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few simple tips will help ensure your Mexican street corn pasta salad turns out perfectly every time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overcooking or undercooking the pasta<\/strong> &#8211; Cook the pasta just 1-2 minutes past al dente so it stays tender after chilling and doesn&#8217;t dry out and absorb all the dressing. Avoid overcooking it, since overly soft pasta can become mushy once it&#8217;s mixed with the dressing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mixing warm ingredients<\/strong> &#8211; Let both the pasta and corn cool before combining everything. Warm ingredients can thin the dressing and change the texture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Skipping the taste test<\/strong> &#8211; Fresh corn varies in sweetness, and Cotija varies in saltiness. Always taste before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Using bottled lime juice<\/strong> &#8211; Fresh lime juice gives the dressing a bright, fresh flavor that bottled juice can&#8217;t match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Serving it immediately<\/strong> &#8211; While you can serve it right away, chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes allows the dressing to soak into the pasta and lets the flavors come together beautifully.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1598\" alt=\"Close-up of elote pasta salad with rotini pasta, sweet corn, and cotija cheese coated in creamy chili-lime dressing\" class=\"wp-image-75017 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-with-wooden-spoon-1-150x200.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-variations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad Variations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add protein:<\/strong>\u00a0Add grilled chicken or my shredded chicken from my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/shredded-mexican-chicken\/\">Mexican Shredded Chicken<\/a> recipe, <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/cilantro-lime-grilled-shrimp\/\">grilled shrimp<\/a>, crumbled bacon, or crumbled chorizo to turn this into a complete meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pasta swap:<\/strong>\u00a0Rotini is the shape I recommend, but ditalini, shells, or farfalle all work well too since they&#8217;re also built to hold dressing.

Before serving, stir everything together well. If the dressing has thickened, add a small spoonful of sour cream or mayonnaise and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to freshen it up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then taste one last time and adjust the seasoning if needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"storing-freezing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing &amp; Freezing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Store leftover elote pasta salad<\/strong> in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to\u00a04 days. Give it a good stir before serving since some of the dressing will settle as it chills. If the salad seems a little dry, simply stir in a spoonful of sour cream or mayonnaise along with a squeeze of lime juice to bring it back to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Because the dressing is mayo and sour cream based, don&#8217;t leave the salad sitting out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if it&#8217;s above 90\u00b0F outside) \u2014 a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\">USDA food-safety guideline<\/a> for mayonnaise-based dishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I don&#8217;t recommend freezing<\/strong> this pasta salad. The mayonnaise and sour cream dressing can separate after thawing, and both the pasta and fresh vegetables lose their texture. Since it&#8217;s quick to make and keeps well in the refrigerator, it&#8217;s best enjoyed fresh.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-serve-with-mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Serve with Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creamy pasta salad pairs well with almost anything on the grill.

Fresh sweet corn gives the best flavor and texture, but frozen corn is a good substitute when fresh corn isn&#8217;t in season. Thaw it completely and pat it dry before adding it to the salad.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-can-i-use-canned-corn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I use canned corn?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can, but fresh corn provides the sweetest flavor and the best texture. If using canned corn, drain it well before mixing it into the salad.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-can-i-make-this-elote-pasta-salad-ahead-of-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I make this elote pasta salad ahead of time?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely. In fact, I think it tastes even better after chilling for a few hours because the flavors have more time to blend together.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-what-is-cotija-cheese-and-can-i-substitute-it\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Cotija cheese, and can I substitute it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cotija is a firm, salty, crumbly Mexican cheese named after the town of Cotija in Michoac\u00e1n, often compared to a sharper, saltier feta. If you can&#8217;t find it, feta is the best substitute; queso fresco also works but is milder and less salty.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-what-s-the-best-pasta-for-this-salad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the Best Pasta for this salad?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shape with ridges or curves \u2014 like rotini, shells, or farfalle \u2014 works best because it holds onto the dressing and corn. Smooth pasta shapes like spaghetti or linguine let the dressing slide off.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-is-mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-spicy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad spicy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As written it&#8217;s a mild-medium heat. The jalape\u00f1os add gentle heat without making the salad overly spicy. For an even milder kid-friendly version, simply leave the jalape\u00f1os out or swap them for poblano or green peppers. For more heat, add more jalape\u00f1os or leave the seeds and ribs in when dicing, more cayenne can also add more spice.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-can-i-make-it-gluten-free\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I make it gluten-free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Just substitute your favorite gluten-free pasta and prepare the recipe as directed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1598\" alt=\"Side-angle shot of street corn pasta salad topped with tajin and cotija cheese\" class=\"wp-image-75001 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tasteandsee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad-close-up-bowl-2-150x200.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a side dish that&#8217;s sure to be a hit at your next cookout, this\u00a0Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad (Elote Pasta Salad)\u00a0is it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad is an easy, make-ahead side dish that&#8217;s perfect for summer cookouts, potlucks, and family gatherings.

It&#8217;s available at most grocery stores.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-nutrition\">\n<p><h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-title mv-create-strong\"><span>Nutrition Information<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-yield\"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Yield<\/h4>\n<p> 12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-serving-size mv-create-traditional-nutrition-serving-size\"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Serving Size<\/h4>\n<p> 1 cup<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-amount\"><em>Amount Per Serving<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-calories\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Calories<\/span> 297<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-total-fat\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Total Fat<\/span> 16.2g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-saturated-fat mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Saturated Fat<\/span> 7.2g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-trans-fat mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Trans Fat<\/span> 0.2g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-unsaturated-fat mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Unsaturated Fat<\/span> 8.7g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-cholesterol\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Cholesterol<\/span> 33mg<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-sodium\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Sodium<\/span> 288mg<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-carbohydrates\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Carbohydrates<\/span> 31.6g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-net-carbohydrates mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Net Carbohydrates<\/span> 29.0g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-fiber mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Fiber<\/span> 2.6g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-sugar mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Sugar<\/span> 4g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-protein\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Protein<\/span> 9.3g<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"mv-create-nutrition-disclaimer\"><em>This nutrition card uses an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator.
