Ingredients
Salad
- 5 medium ears fresh corn shucked
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons diced red onion
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro minced
- 4 -5 small radishes cut into thin slices and then cut in half
- 1 small ripe avocado sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Melt the butter and brush butter onto each ear of corn.
- Season corn with salt and pepper.
- Place on the grill and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the corn is charred.
- Remove from the grill and let the corn cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dressing.
- To make the dressing, add the mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle sauce, paprika, and chili powder to a small mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. Set aside.
- Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and place them in a large bowl.
- Add the onion, cilantro, radish, avocado, and cotija cheese to the bowl.
- Spoon in some of the dressing and toss to coat. Continue to add dressing to taste.
Notes
- Butter: I like to use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, you may need to increase the salt to taste.
- Red onion: If red onion is too strong for you, you can substitute diced shallot.
- Mayonnaise: Regular mayo works well in this recipe.
- Lime juice: I recommend using fresh lime juice, not bottled lime juice.
- Chipotle sauce: Chipotle hot sauce can be substituted if you can't find chipotle sauce.
- Chili powder: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to taste.
