Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Large Spoon
  • Citrus Juicer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ENGLISH CUCUMBERS
  • 2 cups SWEET CORN
  • 1/4 cup MAYONNAISE
  • 1/4 cup SOUR CREAM
  • 1/2 cup COTIJA CHEESE
  • 1/4 cup FRESH CILANTRO
  • 1 tbsp LIME JUICE
  • 1 tsp CHILI POWDER
  • 1/2 tsp GARLIC POWDER
  • 1/2 tsp SALT

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Wash your fresh cucumbers under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean cloth. Slice them into thick round circles first. Then cut those circles in half now.

Step 2:

  • Place the cucumber slices in your bowl. Open your can of sweet yellow corn. Drain all the water from the can. Pour the corn over the green cucumbers.

Step 3:

  • Get a small bowl for the sauce. Add your mayo and sour cream inside. Squeeze your fresh lime juice into it. Whisk it until it is very smooth.

Step 4:

  • Add the chili powder to the sauce. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and salt. Stir it again with your small whisk. The sauce should look slightly orange now.

Step 5:

  • Pour the dressing over the corn mixture. Use your large spoon to mix well. Make sure every piece has some sauce. Do this slowly so corn stays whole.

Step 6:

  • Crumble the cotija cheese with your hands. Sprinkle it all over the salad top. Add the chopped green cilantro leaves now. Toss the salad one last time.

Step 7:

  • Taste a small piece of the cucumber. Add more salt if you need it. Put the bowl in the fridge. Let it chill for ten minutes.

Notes

Use seedless cucumbers to avoid a soggy salad.
Toast your corn in a pan for smoke.
Add a little tajin for extra spicy flavor.
Cut the vegetables into very similar small sizes.
Add the cheese just before you serve it.
Keep the salad cold until the last minute.
Use full fat mayo for the best creaminess.
Fresh cilantro stems have a lot of flavor.
