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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than corn that has been sitting around for a while. Look for ears of corn with bright green husks and plump kernels.
  • Remove the kernels from the cob. There are a few different ways to remove the kernels from the cob. You can use a sharp knife to cut them off, or you can use a corn stripper. If you're using a knife, be careful not to cut yourself. If you're using a corn stripper, simply insert the cob into the stripper and turn the handle.
  • Cook the corn. You can cook the corn in a variety of ways. You can boil it, grill it, or roast it. If you're boiling the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the corn is tender. If you're grilling the corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with oil and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. If you're roasting the corn, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the corn with oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
  • Add other ingredients. Once the corn is cooked, you can add other ingredients to make a corn salad. Some popular additions include tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, and cheese. You can also add herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or parsley.
  • Dress the salad. You can dress the corn salad with a variety of dressings. Some popular dressings include vinaigrette, ranch dressing, or Caesar dressing. You can also make your own dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Conclusion:

Corn salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Experiment with different ingredients and dressings to find your favorite corn salad recipe.
