Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lime juice of
  • 1 tbsp honey*
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili powder mild
  • ¾ cup olive oil more for brushing on corn
  • salt + pepper course, freshly ground, to taste
  • 6 ears sweet corn* husks and silks removed
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes* halved
  • ½ cup red onion* diced
  • ½ cup cilantro* chopped
  • feta cheese optional
  • avocado diced, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, cumin, and chili powder. Pour in the ¾ cup olive oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking to make a vinaigrette.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Prepare a medium hot fire in a grill. Brush a little olive oil on each ear of corn and season with salt and pepper. Grill the corn, turning the ears often so they cook evenly, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut the kernels of corn off each ear and put into a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and vinaigrette. Add feta and avocado, if desired. Serve immediately.
  • Note: you can use a hot pan in place of a grill.
