Mexican Street Corn Salad

• porții: 4 servings

Ingrediente

4 ears fresh corn (husked)

1½ tablespoons mayo

1 garlic clove (minced)

Zest and juice of 1 lime

⅓ cup chopped scallions

¼ cup crumbled Cotija

¼ cup finely chopped cilantro

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon salt

1 jalapeño (diced), optional

Instrucțiuni

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until char marks form. Remove from grill and set aside. (Or boil husked corn for 5 mins for quick easy cooking.)

In a large bowl, combine the mayo, garlic, and lime zest and juice. Slice the kernels off the corn and add to the bowl along with the scallions. Stir to coat, then add the cheese, cilantro, smoked paprika, jalapeño, and salt. Season to taste and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
