Elote-Inspired Cold Corn Salad

This is the first corn salad I've ever had.  In other words, it's the first time I've eaten cold corn.  It's different (my son called it "refreshing"), and a nice way to shake up a boring can of corn.  This recipe is a fun take on Mexican elote using pantry-friendly ingredients including lime juice and freeze-dried monterey jack cheese.
