Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn shucked, grilled, and cut off the cob (about 2 cups)
  • ½ cup english cucumber chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 jalapeno seeds removed, finely diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  • Put the corn, still in its husks, on the grill, cover, and cook for 20 minutes rotating the corn cobs every 5 minutes or so.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix to combine the garlic, jalapeño, and a large pinch of kosher salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice, sour cream and mayo or greek yogurt and whisk to combine. Add the avocado, tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro and toss gently to combine.
  • Remove the corn from the grill. When cool enough to handle, peel back the silk, and slice the kernels off the cobs directly into the bowl with a knife. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
