CREAMY MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• To make the seasoned corn: Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Melt a tablespoon of butter, then stir in corn and 1 teaspoon each or garlic and chili powders and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until corn is slightly charred and golden; 8-10 minutes. Spoon into a large bowl and cool. (Can be placed in the fridge for quicker cooling time - this too less than 10 minutes for me).

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, lime zest and a pinch of salt.
• Stir the mayo mixture into the corn mixture. Stir in cotija cheese.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the chipotle chicken, combine the chipotle chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and coconut aminos until combined. Add the chicken thighs/breasts and turn to coat them completely. Place a lid on the container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but overnight is more flavorful.
• When you're ready to make the salad, preheat the grill over medium high heat until a temperature between 400-450ºF is reached. Place the ears of corn on the grill and turn every couple of minutes as the sides begin to char. You're looking for a nice dark brown, almost but not black color to be appearing on some of the kernels before you rotate the ear of corn. This whole process takes about 6-8 minutes.
• When the corn is done, remove the ears from the grill, and set them aside to cool a bit. Meanwhile turn the grill down to medium to maintain a temperature of around 350ºF. Grill the chicken, 6-8 minutes per side for your averaged sized chicken thighs, and around 8-12 minutes per side for chicken breasts, (chicken always varies in cooking time because they're never the same size).
• While the chicken grills, add all the ingredients for the street corn salad into a bowl, except for the corn. When the grilled corn is cool enough to handle, stand 1 ear at a time on the cutting board on the flat end. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels away from the cob, being careful not to cut too deeply into the cob which is tough. Add the kernels to the salad. Mix to combine, taste test and adjust the salt as necessary, and set it aside.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and set it aside while you finish making the salad.
• In a large serving bowl, add in the romaine, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and optional jalapeno and Cojita cheese.
• To make the cilantro dressing add the cilantro, garlic, and lime juice to the blender. Blend starting on low and working up to speeds 3-4 on a Vitamix. When the mixture is still chunky, start adding in the avocado oil in a thin steady stream with the blender running. Keep blending until all the oil has been added, and the dressing is emulsified. Add sea salt to taste, and blend again just to combine.
• When the chicken has cooled a bit, cut it into strips or bite sized pieces, and add it to the serving bowl. From here you can serve it all separately, or add the street corn salad and cilantro dressing to the serving bowl, and toss before serving.

SWEET CHILI SUMMER CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill or oven to 400ºF and spray or wipe corn with olive oil.

Place your carrot into the spiralizer and spiralize into thin noodles and place in a large mixing bowl. Here are more detailed directions on how to spiralize a carrot.
• Remove corn from heat when corn has started to brown. Let cool and then cut corn off the cob with a sharp knife and add it to the large mixing bowl with the carrots.
