What You Need to Know to Make the Best Chipotle Corn Salad
1. Fresh maize is the first step. Use maize that is still in the husk if at all possible. The husk serves a dual purpose of keeping the corn moist and adding flavor while it cooks.
2. The corn should be charred all over in a hot skillet. However, it can become tough if overcooked.
3. Corn kernels should be removed from the cob and placed in a large bowl.
4. Toss in some avocado cubes, chopped cilantro, red onion, and crumbled feta.
5. Toss the salad with the dressing of your choice and toss again to coat. Olive oil, lime juice, and adobo-sauced chipotle peppers are a favorite of ours, but feel free to get creative!
6. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salad, and serve right away.
