"Very quick and tasty sidedish that can be altered to taste, almost
every ingredient except the corn is optional. Very pretty side dish
also. I’ve made this for many different people and haven’t had one
complaint yet. It’s especially good if you just don’t have the time
to cook but don’t want junk food."
3 ears fresh corn in husks
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black
Pepper to taste
1 pinch salt-free lemon-herb seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)
1. Peel back corn husks, but leave them attached at the bottom. Remove
the silks, and fold husks back up over the corn. Place on a dinner plate,
and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on High power, turning corn once
half way through. Cool until cool enough to touch, then slice corn kernels
from the cob and place them in a serving bowl.
2. Stir butter into the corn along with the tomatoes, jalapeno, red
onion, garlic and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and seasoning
blend. Mix
well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Some people like the
salad warm, but I prefer to chill it a little before serving.
