Corn, Chili, and Cheese Salad

Grilled Corn Salad

Easy and delicious Bon Appetit recipe. Also keeps well in the fridge for several days and, in some ways, improves over time.

4 ears of corn, husked
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1 red chile (BA recommends Holland or Fresno, but a Jalapeño will do), optionally deseeded, thinly sliced into rings
¼ cup fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 oz. fresh Cotija cheese or queso fresco, crumbled
¼ cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Pickled Mexican Carrots

Pickling Carrots

Adapted from Tart and Sweet:

This recipe calls for baby carrots - those available in springtime during the thinning process. I assume you could also make this recipe with regular carrots, cut into spears.

Yield: 1-2 pints (or 1 pint and 1 half-pint)

2 bunches baby carrots (about 1 pound), trimmed, peeled, and cut into pieces that will fit upright in your jars

1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cups water
3/4 Tbsp kosher salt
3/4 Tbsp brown sugar

Per pint-sized jar:
1 clove garlic

Jon's Garden Salsa

Salsa and chips

I began making my own hot sauce during Peace Corps - peppers were plentiful, but good, non-tabasco-style sauces were hard to find (and generally bad). It's always a big hit, but actually really easy to make.

You can also see this recipe in a much more amusing flowchart form (PDF)

Salsa Verde

Verde Salsa

A good, staple salsa verde recipe that balances the tartness of the tomatillo with a nice char and some spice. Makes about 2 cups.

  • 8 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed
  • 3-4 fresh chiles (a mixture of jalapenos and poblanos creates a nice flavor)
  • 8 unpeeled garlic cloves
  • 1 cup (packed) fresh cilantro
  • 1 small white onion, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Fresh Mango Salsa / Chutney

Mango Salsa

This is a great fresh chutney that could go with most carribean or indian dishes. Vary the size of the mango chunks to taste.
