GRILLED CORN SALAD WITH SPICY SRIRACHA-LIME DRESSING

Always down to try a delicious new salad, my boyfriend’s mom recently whipped up this spicy, sweet corn salad and I just couldn’t get enough. Not only is it the perfect season for grilled corn but the sriracha lime dressing and jalapenos add a kick of spice while the avocado and lime help cool your mouth down. Its the perfect side dish to add to your next BBQ or Mexican night and goes perfectly with any chicken or meat dish you’re planning to serve! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 6 People

6 Pieces of Sweet Corn - husked
2 TBSP of Unsalted Butter - melted
Salt and Pepper
3 Ripe Avocados - chopped into pieces
1 Jalapeno Pepper - chopped

- Dressing -
6 TBSP of Lime Juice
4 TBSP of Honey
3 TSP of Sriracha
2 TSP of Garlic Powder

DIRECTIONS:

Brush the corn in the unsalted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper before grilling on the bbq. Turn the corn occasionally to allow it to cook evenly. Remove corn once it is tender and slightly charred. Set aside to cool.

Combine all your ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk until well incorporated.

Once the corn has cooled, cut kernels off the cobs and place in a large bowl. Add in your chopped avocado and jalapenos before drizzling the dressing over the entire mixture and tossing so everything is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste before giving it one last toss.

Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

Enjoy!

ELOTE - MEXICAN STREET CORN

Elote or Mexican street corn is one of my favorite appetizers!! Whenever I go out for tacos I always have to order the Mexican street corn otherwise the dining experience isn't complete! The thing you might not realize is that it is so simple to make and you can do it so easily right at home. I made mine on the bbq this past week which I think was even better than boiling it because when you boil it you dilute the sugars in the kernels whereas if you bbq it, they get sealed in and the corn tastes extra sweet! Give it a go, you’ll be surprised just how delicious and easy it is to make.

INGREDIENTS:

Sweet Corn - Two per person is my usual estimate
Butchers Twine
2 TBSP of Vegetable Oil
Cream Fresh
Chipotle Chilli Seasoning Spice
Feta Cheese, Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco
Lime Wedges - optional

DIRECTIONS:

Peel back the husk of corn and tie back with a piece of butchers twine

Coat corn in a light layer of oil and place on the bbq, turning frequently so that it becomes only slightly charred

When the corn is ready, drizzle with creme fresh, sprinkle with chipotle seasoning and garnish with cheese.

Serve warm with a slice of lime.

Enjoy!
