How to cook Southwest Street Corn Salad
- Take a sharp knife and remove kernels from the ears of corn.
- Add olive oil and corn to a large skillet and heat over medium-high for 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the corn starts to char. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn mixture, sour cream, mayo, green onions, cilantro, lime juice and southwest seasoning. Stir together until combined.
- Top with cotija cheese, chili pepper and cilantro. Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Notes:
I used fresh corn for this recipe. If you use frozen corn, increase your skillet time by 5 minutes before you add the garlic, bell peppers and onion. If you can not find cotija cheese, feta cheese works great as well!
