Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Prepare the Corn (5 minutes): Using a large, sharp knife, cut off about 1/2 inch of the corn stalk. Do not shuck the corn.

02

Step

1 mins

Prepare Ice Bath (2 minutes): Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. This will stop the cooking process and keep the corn kernels crisp.

03

Step

4 mins

Microwave the Corn (4-6 minutes): Microwave corn on high, about 2 minutes per ear. Carefully peel off husks and silk. Immediately plunge the cooked corn into the ice water bath.

04

Step

5 mins

Dry and Remove Kernels (5 minutes): Remove the corn from the ice water and pat dry with a clean towel. Stand the corn upright on a cutting board and slice off the kernels, turning the ear as you go. Aim to get as close to the cob as possible without including any of the tough core.

05

Step

7 mins

Combine Ingredients (3 minutes): Transfer the corn kernels to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped green bell pepper, green chile peppers, white vinegar, sugar, cumin, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

06

Step

3 mins

Chill and Serve (30 minutes minimum): Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

For a smoky flavor, grill the corn in the husk until lightly charred before microwaving.
Adjust the amount of chile peppers to your desired level of spiciness. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as red onion, tomato, or avocado for added texture and flavor.
If fresh corn is not available, you can use frozen corn kernels. Thaw them completely before using.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.
