Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cilantro fresh
  • 1 small Jalapeño diced
  • ½-⅔ cup light Mayo depending on creaminess
  • 1-3 tbsp Sriracha depending on desired heat
  • 1 lime juiced, see tip below*
Seasonings
  • 1 ½ tsp chili powder

Serve
  • 1 bag tortilla/kettle cooked chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the corn. I often use frozen corn, steam-in-bag. I will cook it, then put it in the fridge to sit overnight so it chills. See tips in the note section on methods of cooking corn.
  2. While corn is cooking and/or cooling, prepare the produce. Use a vegetable chopper to dice red onion and jalapeños. Finely dice cilantro.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine fresh cilantro, grated parmesan, feta crumbles, red onion, and seasonings.
  4. Next, stir in olive oil mayo. This will create a dip like texture. Toss in the cooled corn, sriracha, and optional jalapeños.
  5. Fold all together. Add fresh lime juice and/or zest.
  6. Garnish with an additional 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro before serving. Serve with a family size bag of chips, fresh vegetables, on top of tacos...so many options!
  7. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days if it even makes it to storage! Enjoy!

Notes

  • Prepping corn? This can be done in a variety of ways: on the grill, in the microwave, air fryer, or on the stovetop. If I have extra time, I like to grill mine for 6-8 minutes on the grill setting in the Ninja Foodi Grill. It gives it the perfect amount of char and great texture. After cooking, trim the corn off the cobs. Let cool by chilling or allowing it to sit.

  • TIP: Microwave a lime for 15 seconds before using. Roll it on the counter; then juice. It will get the maximum amount of juice out of the lime!
  • Adjust the spice level with the amount of jalapeños and sriracha. 
  • Garnish with feta crumbles, extra cilantro, chopped green/red onions, and/or a pinch of salt...Enjoy as a dip, garnish to grilled protein, or just by the spoonful!
