Ingredients
- 3 ears of fresh corn (still in the husk) or 1 ½ cup frozen corn
- 2 teaspoons fresh jalapeños and rinsed to remove seeds, finely chopped
- ¼ cup red onion minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro or if you're not into cilantro, try fresh parsley, chopped
- Juice from one lime
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Place the 3 ears of corn, still in the husk, in the microwave, and cook for 12 minutes. When the time is up, remove the ears of corn from the microwave (Wear oven mitts so don't get burned). Place the corn on a cutting board. Chop off the bottom of the corn, and use your mitted hands to press the corn out of the husk from the other end. No silk! Do this to all 3 ears and then allow them to sit on the cutting board to cool.
- Allow the ears of corn some time to cool and then use a serrated knife to shave off the corn. Hold the ear of corn upright with the base of it resting on the cutting board and use your knife to cut down. Repeat this step until all the corn has been removed from the cob.
- Transfer the corn to a dish and add the finely chopped jalapeños, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Then squeeze the juice from one lime, add the salt, and stir until well-combined.
