Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 corn husked and kernels removed, ears, fresh
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely diced
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are charred and golden, about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice.
  3. Add the charred corn to the bowl with the dressing. Add the chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, diced jalapeño, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Serve the salad warm or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The flavors meld beautifully as the salad rests.
