Mexican Street Corn Salad

Do you love summer corn on the cob? Then you will LOVE Mexican Street Corn Salad. To get started, here’s a helpful hint to easily husk corn on the cob (works every time – in the microwave!)

  1. Cut off the bottom of the corn cob, where the stalk meets the first row of kernels.
  2. Put the corn on a microwave-safe plate and microwave (cook) ears for about 30 to 60 seconds on high heat.
  3. Once the time is up, remove the plate, then carefully hold the corn by its uncut end (it will be hot). Give the ear a firm shake and the cob should easily slide out, leaving the husk and silk behind.

Note: Clark and Hopkins Chesapeake Bay Pepper Sauce is made in Richmond, Virginia and can be purchased in locally (Virginia) in gourmet stores or on-line.
