SPICY FRESH CORN SALAD



Spicy Fresh Corn Salad image

I was gifted some Cajun-flavored mayonnaise and wasn't sure what to do with it until I spotted fresh corn at the grocery store. I thought the sweetness of the corn would contrast nicely with the spicy mayonnaise, and I was right! Serve with grilled or fried shrimp, or with any summery chicken dish.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ears fresh corn
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons Cajun mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 small avocado, diced

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Shuck corn and remove the silks. Cut off the base of the stalk and slice kernels off the cob. Transfer kernels to a rimmed baking sheet. Add green pepper and shallot. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss and spread out in an even layer.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir and spread back out on the sheet. Continue broiling until corn starts to brown, about 5 minutes more. Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables to a large bowl. Add mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro. Stir until vegetables are evenly coated. Gently fold in avocado.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to cook the corn until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. It should be crispy but not burnt.
  • Use a good quality Cajun seasoning. You can find this at most grocery stores or online.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
