Ingredients
8 ears of locally grown sweet corn
Juice of 2 limes

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 small red onion, diced

Directions
1. Remove hairs from corn LEAVING HUSKS ON. Smooth husks back over cobs of
corn.

2. Light outdoor grill at medium heat or when coals are covered in a light ash. Place
corn on grill and cook until tender and somewhat charred (this gives the salad a
subtle smoky flavor) about 10‐12 minutes.

ingredients in large bowl and set aside.

4. Slice corn off the cob into a serving bowl, making sure kernels are separate and
not clumping together. Combine corn with remaining mixture, toss and serve!
