Categories     Corn

Number Of Ingredients 8

6-7 ears Fresh Corn
1 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
3/4 cup Chopped Scallions
1/2 cup Chopped Cilantro
1/2 cup Crumbled Cotija Cheese
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high heat. Shuck the corn and remove any remaining silk strands. Once the grill is hot, grill the corn for about 2 minutes per side, 8 minutes total.
  • Allow the corn to cool, then use a serrated knife to cut the corn off the cobs. (I set a small bowl up-side-down in a larger bowl. Then stand the corn on the small bowl, so the cut corn falls into the larger bowl.)
  • To a salad bowl, add the diced bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro to the grilled corn. Toss to mix.
  • In a smaller bowl whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice and paprika together. Toss the dressing into the salad.
  • Finally toss in the cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle cheese over the top and serve.
