Equipment

  • grill
  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

Fresh Corn

  • 4 ears fresh corn husked

Dressings and Seasonings

  • 1.5 tablespoons mayo or vegan mayo
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • ¼ cup crumbled Cotija cheese or feta cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder
  • 1 pepper jalapeño diced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Vegetables

  • ⅓ cup chopped scallions
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Oil

  • extra-virgin olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

Grilling the Corn

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until char marks form. Remove from grill and set aside.

Mixing the Salad

  • In a large bowl, combine the mayo, garlic, and lime zest and juice. Slice the kernels off the corn and add to the bowl along with the scallions. Stir to coat, then add the cheese, cilantro, smoked paprika, jalapeño, and salt. Season to taste and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Roast the jalapeño alongside the corn if you'd like. Make this recipe vegan by omitting the cheese.
