Ingredients

6 ears corn
1 tomato, finely chopped
5 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into small cubes
1 orange bell pepper, finely chopped
½ cucumber, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons coarse sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add corn; cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
Cook corn on the preheated grill until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes.
Cut corn kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. Transfer to a large bowl; add tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, orange bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro. Stir in balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder; mix to combine.
