Mexican Street Corn Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz) bag frozen corn (or 3-4 cups fresh corn)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (I used light)
• 3-4 oz Cotija cheese, crumbled (I found this over in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store, but you could also use feta cheese)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh is my favorite)
• 1 tablespoon jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
2. While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
3. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
