Sweet and juicy, it's the ingredient we can't get enough of right now. Purists need no extras besides a slab of butter and some salt, but here's a recipe you wont get enough of!

Ingredients:

  • 4 ears of grilled corn, husked and kernels cut off the cob
  • 1 1/2 tbsp mayo 
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1/3 cups chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco, cotija or feta
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder 
  • 1 diced jalapeno
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 

Instructions:

  1.  Shuck the ears and grill the corn brushing with olive oil first until charred all around (about 4 minutes rotating).
  2. Once cooled off enough to handle, cut off the kernels into a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together mayo, garlic, lime zest and juice.
  4. Add scallions, cheese, cilantro, paprika, jalapeno and salt. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately or chilled and enjoy!

 

Tip: Use your leftover cobs in vegetable stocks!
