Hey, everyone. First post here. I make a grilled corn salad for gatherings that gets rave reviews from everyone.
8 ears of corn, shucked
Room temp butter
Salt
Pepper
2 cans diced green chiles, mild or as hot as you want them
4 oz cotija cheese, crumbled
Lightly butter the corn, just enough to partly fill the valleys between each kernel
Salt and pepper each ear to taste
Grill them to within an inch of their lives over direct heat. Turn each ear frequently to cook them evenly. You want a nice char, but don't turn them into charcoal. The skin of the kernel will char while the kernel "meat" gets sweet.
When the ears are cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife and put in a large bowl. Discard the cobs.
Add the two cans of diced chiles with whatever juice is in the can to the kernels and mix thoroughly.
Mix in the crumbled cotija cheese.
Just before serving, nuke the bowl just long enough to make the cheese bits a little soft, then give everything a good stir again.
You can make this all ahead, a day or two if necessary, just heat it up before you serve it.
Enjoy!
Paul
