Fresh Corn Salad with lime juice and herbs kind of reminds me of Mexican street corn, but in a salad. This is a delicious way to eat fresh summer corn

Ingredients

  • 2 ears sweet corn
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 serrano pepper
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 Roma tomato
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 cup rinsed and drained black or kidney beans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cotija cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Shuck the corn and rub with the oil. Sear on all sides in a hot skillet (or throw them on the grill for a couple of minutes). Set aside.

  2. 2

    Blister the serrano and the green onions in the same skillet (or on a grill).

  3. 3

    Cut the kernels from the cobs. Dice the serrano, the green onions and the tomato.

  4. 4

    Combine all these in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Serve right away, slightly warm, or refrigerate to chill. Best served within 48 hours.
