Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cobs of corn
  • 100 g feta
  • 500 g leafy greens
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • neutral oil
  • salt I'm using Diamond Crystal Kosher

Method
 

  1. Heat grill to 450°F and season with oil to avoid sticking.
  2. Coat your corn lightly in neutral oil, then transfer to the grill and close the lid. Let cook 5 minutes, flip and continue cooking until the corn is a bright yellow and all of the kernels look plump and slightly charred, about 5 more minutes. Remove and let cool.
  3. While you wait, make the dressing. Add 1/4 cup lime juice, 3/4 cup avocado oil, 1 tbsp agave, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/4 tsp paprika and a pinch of salt to a mason jar. Shake until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning. It should be spicy, limey and a little sweet.
  4. Once the corn is cool, cut the kernels from the cob: To do this, place a small bowl inside a large bowl and hold the cob vertically on top of the small bow. Run a knife from the top of the cob to the bottom, leaving the kernels to fall into the large bowl. Remove the small bowl and season the corn with a pinch of salt.
  5. Add 500g lettuce to the bowl and crumble 100g feta over top. Cover in dressing and toss to coat.
