If this little gem doesn’t make you feel like summer is here…nuthin will.
Chili Lime Corn, recipe here
1 pound rib eye steak, cooked, cooled & sliced
4 cups arugula
Any of the following: tear drop or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise, cooked baby asparagus, cucumber slices, sliced avocado, sliced radishes - make it your own
Cotija cheese
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (hot honey if you have it)
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Make the corn and cook the steak - can both be done in advance
In a dressing container, measuring cup etc put the lime juice, oil, honey, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt - mix really well
Put the arugula and any of your other salad ingredients (including of course the corn cut off the cob) into a large bowl and add some dressing (you won’t use all of it) and mix well
Plate, add sliced steak, more corn and crumble the cotija over the top
Serve
