Ingredients

Scale

Grilled Corn:

  • 4 ears of sweet corn (husks removed)

Corn Salsa:

  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
  • 3/4 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1/4 cup diced red onions
  • 12 jalapenos (seeded, deveined, minced (1 for mild))
  • 1/3 cup packed cilantro (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. GRILL CORN: Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil. Grease and heat grill to high heat (450 degrees). Once hot, add corn and close the lid. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating the corn until all of the sides are lightly charred, about 10-12 minutes, closing the lid in between rotations. Set the corn aside and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut the kernels off of the cob and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. SKILLET CORN: Cut the kernels off of the cob. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to char approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer kernels to a large bowl.
  3. ASSEMBLE: Add all of the remaining Corn Salsa ingredients to the grilled corn and toss to evenly coat. Season with additional lime juice and/or salt and pepper to taste.
  4. SERVE: Let rest for 30-60 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld or serve immediately. Corn Salsa will keep covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, but is best the first day.
