Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 ears corn grilled and kernels removed
1 whole avocado diced
1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 whole jalapeño seeded and minced
1/2 cup cotija cheese crumbled

Dressing

3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2 Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
3 Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place them into a large mixing bowl.
4 Add the diced avocado, chopped red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, and crumbled cotija cheese to the bowl with the corn.
5 In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, and salt to create the dressing.
6 Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
7 Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
