Ingredients

4 ears corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup canned diced mild green chiles
2 scallions thinly sliced, green part only
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon lime juice fresh squeezed

Instructions

Prepare your grill over medium-high heat.
Brush the ears of corn with the olive oil all over.
4 ears corn, 1 tablespoon olive oil
Once the grill is hot, place the corn on the grill and cook until charred, turning every so often so it chars evenly. About 10-15 minutes.
Take off the grill and set it to the side.
Add the green chiles, scallions, cilantro, honey, lime juice, zest, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
1/4 cup canned diced mild green chiles, 2 scallions, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, 1/2 tablespoon honey, 1/2 tablespoon lime juice, zest of 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Once the corn is cool to the touch, cut it off the cob, add it to the bowl with the other ingredients, and stir to combine.
Use immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Brush olive oil on the ear of corn—keeps it juicy on the grill!
Use a sharp knife to cut the corn upright off the cob.
Mix in a large bowl for no spills.
Grill on medium-high heat—gives that smoky flavor.
Chill it after mixing—makes the delicious salsa even fresher.
