Grilled Corn Salad with Lime, Red Chili and Cotija

Chef: Shannon Fuller

Ingredients

  • 8 ears fresh corn, silks removed, husk on, soaked in cold water 30 minutes (or use Trader Joe's roasted frozen corn)
  • Canola oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup creme fraiche
  • 2 limes, juiced and 1 zested
  • 1 tablespoons ancho chili powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated cotija cheese

Heat grill to high. Grill corn until charred on all sides, 10 or so minutes. Take off the grill and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. While you are cutting the corn, put a cast iron skillet on the grill to heat.

Add the corn and the remaining ingredients to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and heated through.
