Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
6 to 8 tomatillos, husked & coarsely chopped (about 8 ounces)
2 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and quartered
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 jalapeno, coarsely chopped with seeds
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
6 ears fresh corn, shucked
2 tablespoons canola oil, to coat corn
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Juice from 3 limes
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 Fresno chile pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • For the guacamole: Combine the cilantro, tomatillos, garlic, avocado, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, cumin and salt in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined. Set aside 1/2 cup of the guacamole for the creamy tomatillo dressing, and use remaining guacamole for another recipe.
  • For the charred corn salad: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Brush or rub each ear of corn with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill the corn until it gets a nice char, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Stand each ear stalk-end down, in a wide, shallow bowl and slice the kernels off using your knife.
  • Combine the corn kernels, lime juice, avocado, Fresno chiles and red onions in a large bowl.
  • For the creamy tomatillo dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, 1/2 cup tomatillo guacamole, hot sauce, chili powder and cumin. Add to the corn salad and toss to combine.
  • Fold in the cilantro and crumbled cotija and season with salt.
  • Serving suggestion: Portion the salad into small cups, squeeze additional lime over the top, and serve with a spoon.
