Ingredients

  • 3earsfresh corn in husks
  • ¼cupbutter, melted
  • 2roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • ½smallred onion, finely chopped
  • 2clovesgarlic, minced
  • ½bunchfresh cilantro, chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1pinchsalt-free lemon-herb seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)

  • Directions

    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.

    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.
