GRILLED CORN PICO DE GALLO

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ear of corn
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1 Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until darkened in spots, about 10 minutes. Set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
  • 2 Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to a medium bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, until flavors blend. (The salsa can be made up to 4 hours ahead.)

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe corn on the cob. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
  • To grill the corn, you can use a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or a grill pan. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot before you add the corn.
  • Cook the corn until it is tender and slightly charred. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill.
  • Once the corn is cooked, let it cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. You can use a sharp knife or a corn stripper to remove the kernels.
  • To make the cilantro butter, simply combine softened butter, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • To make the shrimp pico de gallo, simply combine cooked shrimp, diced tomatoes, diced onions, diced jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • To make the avocado puree, simply blend avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • To assemble the salad, simply combine the grilled corn, cilantro butter, shrimp pico de gallo, and avocado puree in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This grilled street corn salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this salad is sure to be a hit.
