Nothing better on a hot, sunny day than a refreshing corn salad to cool you down. We did not have central air at the Hart Ranch, just a few questionable, strategically placed window units. Summer days were hot and we would get creative. Some of the many things my brother and I would do to cool down included putting a sprinkler under the trampoline, moving all the furniture off the smooth patio and adding soap and water to create our own slip and slide (momma liked this one 'cuz she also got a clean patio out of it) and then there was Papa's favorite (least): raiding the ice maker and adding it to the trampoline or patio water features.
Ingredients
-
6 ears of corn
-
2 limes
-
2 tablespoons hot sauce
-
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
-
1 teaspoon Hart Ranch Seasoning
-
1 small red onion, chopped
-
2 avocados, cut into chunks
-
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Fill a tall pot with water to cover the corn. Bring to a boil. Add corn ears, cover the pot, reduce to a simmer and cook 3 to 5 minutes until corn is done but crispy. Remove and let cool.
In a bowl, combine the juice of 2 limes, the hot sauce and the Hart Ranch Seasoning. Whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil and mix well.
Slice the corn off the cobs and add to the bowl. Add the red onion, red pepper and avocado and mix until all ingredients are coated.
Add salt, pepper, and Hart Ranch Seasoning to taste.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Mix the salad again prior to serving.
Recipe Note
1. Add a tablespoon of Hart Ranch Seasoning to your corn when you are boiling it for a little additional flavor.
2. I prefer Louisiana hot sauce for this recipe but other hot sauces will work as well such as Tabasco or Cholula.
3. Vegetables can be added or removed depending on your taste.
