Instructions

Prepare the corn:

  1. Shuck and clean corn and place on rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and roll corn around in oil to coat.
  3. Combine Tajin and Uncle Chris Gourmet Steak Seasoning in a small bowl and then sprinkle generously on corn, coating all sides.

Grill the corn:

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Roast corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until specks of black char appear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit until just cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Holding a corn cob over a large bowl, use a knife to carefully slice kernels directly into the bowl; discard the cob. Repeat with remaining corn.
  4. To the bowl of corn, add green onion, cilantro, jalapeno, orange, and red bell pepper; toss until evenly mixed.

Prepare the dressing:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lime zest and lime juice, honey, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Whisk thoroughly to combine.

Finish the Salad:

  1. Pour the prepared dressing over the corn and vegetables.
  2. Toss well to coat.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors marry. - Even better the next day!
