Ingredients
- 2 corn shucked (or 1 ½ cup canned corn kernels, rinsed and drained)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup cotija cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- ½ cup lime juice
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If using corn on the cob, place the shucked ears of corn on a baking sheet and roast
- for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is lightly charred and tender.
- Allow the corn to cool for a few minutes, then use a sharp knife to remove the kernels
- from the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija
- cheese, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the corn kernels and toss to combine.
- Garnish with additional cotija cheese, cilantro dressing, and chili powder, if desired
Cup of Yum
Notes
- When cutting the kernels off the cob, stand the cob upright in a bowl and cut downward, rotating the cob for even removal and to catch kernels.
- Allowing the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving can enhance the flavors as the ingredients meld together.
- Roasting corn on the cob until lightly charred not only enhances its sweetness but also adds a smoky depth to the salad.
