Ingredients
  

  • 5 ears of corn, grilled
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, cut into strips
  • 7-8 slices pickled jalapeños, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Cotija cheese

Instructions
 

  • Melt 2 tbsp of butter and mix with one tbsp of olive oil. Brush the ears of corn with the butter/olive oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the corn on a hot grill and grill until lightly charred.
  • In a deep bowl, stand the corn up on one end and cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. They will fall into the bowl as you are cutting.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and 3 tbsp of olive oil to the corn. Julienne the basil and add it to the bowl as well. Chop the jalapeños (if using) and add them. Stir ingredients together.
  • Top with Cotija cheese. Taste and add any salt and pepper needed.
