Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces frozen corn (1 bag)

2 Tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

SUMMER MEXICAN CORN SALAD

Summer Mexican Corn Salad image

I found this in a Schwan's food catalog and I tried it. We all loved it and the beauty of it is that you can add your own tastes to it or leave some out...whatever floats your boat..lol. I have made it with half mayonnaise and half miracle whip because my son loves miracle whip and we don't. The recipe is versatile and very good. Total time of 40 minutes includes chilling time.
