Grilled Mexican Corn Salad
Ingredients
  • 4 ears corn, with husks
  • 1/2 lime, juiced, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 5 ounces crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat setting, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature for grilling. Lightly brush the grill grate with oil to prevent food from sticking and promote even cooking.
2
Place corn on the cob onto the preheated grill, leaving it to cook in its husks for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally. A slight char is acceptable and will add to the overall flavor of the dish.
3
Once the corn has reached your desired level of tenderness, carefully remove it from the grill and set it aside to cool slightly.
4
Carefully pull back the husks and silk from each ear of corn, discarding them as you go. Transfer the kernels to a medium-sized bowl.
5
Mix together lime juice, chili powder, and cotija cheese in the bowl with the corn kernels. Add chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, and a pinch of pepper to create a well-balanced dressing.
6
Taste the mixture to determine if it requires any additional seasoning. If necessary, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
7
At this point, your grilled corn is ready to be served and enjoyed.
