Grilled Corn Salad

The first time I made this corn I wanted to hide in the closet with a spoon and eat the entire bowl. It's that good. A few hints to made the process easier: After the corn has cooled a bit cut off the bottom of the corn and hold it at the top (where all the silk is) and just shake until the corn falls out. It should come out clean without all the silky mess! When cutting the corn off the cob, turn a small dish upside down inside a large bowl. Sit the wide end of the corn on the inverted bowl and start cutting. If corn flies around it land inside the bowl! SOOOOO much easier. I know my hubby appreciates it because honestly I'm a huge mess in the kitchen, and he just goes right behind me and cleans it up. Trust me, I know how lucky I am! Now for the recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do! If you make it share the picture with  #thingsthatmakeyousayyum I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Grilled Corn Salad
  • 8 - 10 ears of corn husks on (soaked in water for 30 min)
  • 3 tbls butter
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbls chopped, fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese
  • 1 tsp Salt or Tony Chachere's for a bit more flavor
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
Directions:
  1. After soaking the corn, grill on medium high for about 20 minutes.
  2. When the corn is cool enough to handle, remove the husks and cut the corn off the cob. (don't forget my special hints)
  3. Saute in a pan over medium high heat  the butter, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, chili powder, and chili pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture over corn and stir to coat
  5. Add the cotija cheese just before you are ready to serve.
