Celebrate ‘Corn on the Cob’ Day with a New Recipe
This Saturday, August 15th is Corn on the Cob Day and if you love this classic, summer favorite why not celebrate it by tantalizing your taste buds?
Most people grill or boil their corn on the cob and then slather it with butter, but there are several other ways to dress up this bright veggie. I've heard that grilling and then putting mayo on it is delicious, but I haven't tried it that way yet. If you'd like to though, here's a recipe I found from bon appetite magazine. If you try it, let me know how you liked it!
Elote (Mexican Grilled Corn)
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne powder
- 8 ears of corn, husked
- ¼ cup mayonnaise or unsalted butter
- ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese, Parmesan, or ricotta salata

Directions
- Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Brush grill grate with oil. Combine chile powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Grill corn, turning occasionally with tongs, until cooked through and lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill and immediately brush each ear with 1½ tsp. mayonnaise. Sprinkle each with 1 Tbsp. cheese and a pinch of chile powder mixture. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over each ear and serve.
