Ingredients
- 3 ears fresh corn in husks
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch salt-free lemon-herb seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)
Instructions
1
Start by carefully removing the outer layers of the corn husks, but leave them intact at the bottom. Next, gently pull out the silken threads that run through the corn kernels, and then fold the husks back up over the corn to create a neat package. Position the corn on a dinner plate and heat it in the microwave for 5 minutes at maximum power, flipping it halfway through the cooking time. Allow the corn to cool down until it's no longer hot to the touch, then proceed to remove the kernels from the cob and transfer them to a serving dish.

Combine the cooked corn with melted butter, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeno, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro in the serving dish. Add a pinch of salt, some pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend, stirring everything together until it's well combined. Take a moment to taste the mixture and make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning, as some people may prefer their salad served warm while others, like yourself, enjoy it chilled before serving.
