Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn can be fresh off the cob, frozen, or canned
  • Cooking oil spray
  • 3 teaspoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño diced and seeded
  • 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1/3 cup Cotija cheese you can sub feta if you want
  • chili powder
  • Himalayan salt

For the dressing

  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice from one lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients together for the dressing and set aside or store in the refrigerator until you are ready for it.
  • In a nonstick or cast iron pan, spray cooking oil spray, then melt the butter over medium heat. Add in corn and sauté until it begins to toast, gently stirring kernels around with a rubber spatula and lowering heat if necessary so the kernels don't burn. Add in garlic for the last minute and cook until fragrant. (if you are short on time, you can skip this part and just toss everything together!!!)
  • Remove corn from heat and add it to a mixing bowl. Toss in cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion. Stir, then pour in the dressing and finally the cheese. Sprinkle with some salt and some additional chili powder, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  • Garnish with some additional cilantro, if desired!
  • This will last 4-5 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
