Equipment
- Mixing Bowl Large and Small
Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen corn thawed
- ½ red onion finely diced
- 2 jalapeños seeded and finely diced
- 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
- 2 limes juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Add the thawed corn, finely diced red onion, diced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin until the seasonings are combined with the lime juice.
- Pour the lime dressing over the corn mixture and toss everything together until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Notes
- Thaw the corn completely before using. If it's still cold from the freezer, it can water down the lime dressing.
- For extra flavor, pan-sear the frozen corn in a little olive oil over medium-high heat until lightly browned and charred before adding to the bowl.
- Dice the onion and jalapeño as finely as possible so you get a little of everything in each bite.
- Make this an hour or two ahead of serving and let it sit in the fridge. The flavors come together even more as it rests.
- Taste before serving and adjust the lime juice and salt to your preference.
