Ingredients
- 600 g (4 cups) frozen, fresh or canned corn kernels
- 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 50 g (½ cup) freshly grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise
- 1 whole lime, juiced
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 100 g (⅔ cup) crumbled Danish feta
- 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Steam the fresh or frozen corn by adding it to a microwave-safe container with a splash of water. With the lid ajar, microwave for 2–3 minutes until cooked. Alternatively, bring a small pot of water to the boil and cook the corn for 2–3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain. If using tinned corn, simply drain it.
- Add the corn, spring onion, coriander, parmesan, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, pepper and onion powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Crumble over the feta and top with sliced jalapeño, if using.
