Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 16 ounces frozen corn 1 bag
  • 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise (I used light)
  • 4 ounces Cotija Cheese crumbled, (could also use feta cheese)
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice (fresh is best)
  • 1 Tablespoon jalapeno pepper 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

Method
 

  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, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
  4. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
