Cilantro and Lime Corn "Salad"

While the corn crop was a bit of a failure this year, the Marai sweet corn was delicious through much of the season! And if you know me, you know I'm obsessed with corn.  So when I got a nice batch of ears, I decided to freeze some of it.  I followed directions from the folks at the farm where I got the corn from, blanching it for 5 or 10 minutes, cooling it down, cutting it off the cob, and then freezing it with as little air as possible.

We don't have an ice maker, so yes, there are shoes floating in my corn bowl!



But for some, I kept it out to use as is.  This is so simple, but one of the most delicious size dishes for summer taco type food, and we even used it on some nachos!




Corn off the cob
a little butter
cilantro (dried)
chili powder (Spice Islands is the only way to go in this house! It's the best, Cooks Illustrated even says so!)
Lime juice

Yes, I'm being vague, just add all a little at a time until you love the flavor! Yum!

(corn's under there, just a bit hard to see!)
