Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn husks removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cotija cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. 2 Brush the corn with a little olive oil and place on the grill.
  3. 3 Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through.
  4. 4 Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a large bowl.
  5. 5 Add the cherry tomatoes, cotija cheese, cilantro, red onion, smoked paprika, and chili powder to the bowl with the corn.
  6. 6 In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  7. 7 Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
  8. 8 Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour to let the flavors meld.
