Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn
- ¼ Red onion finely chopped
- ½ Tomato finely chopped
- ½ Jalapeño finely chopped
- 1 Garlic clove finely minced
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Cilantro chopped
- ⅛ tsp Paprika
Instructions
- Preparing the Corn: Lightly brush the corn with oil or butter. Grill or toast it, turning occasionally, until it starts to pop darken. Ensure it’s not overcooked; the corn should retain a bit of crunch.
- Removing the Kernels: Allow the corn to cool. Place each cob on its side, cutting off the kernels. Rotate and continue cutting until all kernels are removed.
- Mixing Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels with tomato, onion, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, cumin powder, salt, and oil. Toss the ingredients until they are well mixed.
- Garnishing and Serving: Garnish the mixture with fresh cilantro. It can be served as an appetizer, salad, or as a topping on bruschetta.
