Spicy Corn Salad

I went a little crazy on corn at the farmer’s market the other day. Fresh corn in the summer and fall is definitely one of life’s little delights for me. However, after a few days of just corn on the cob, I was looking for a little something different. This salad was a perfect accompaniment to a crispy, juicy B.L.T.

  • Three ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
  • Two large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup pickled red onions, diced
  • 1/2 diced garden salsa pepper or jalapeno
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon Zatarain’s Seasoning
  • Avocado slices

Break ears of corn in half and boil for 10-12 minutes or until tender.  Allow to cool.  Cut corn off cob, removing any remaining corn silk.  Crumble corn into a medium sized bowl.

Add grated carrots and drained red onions.  Toss to combine.

Add cilantro and Zararain’s seasoning.  Stir well.  Serve with avocado.
