Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn husked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 lemon juiced about 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 nectarines or peaches sliced into ½"-thick wedges
  • 1 small shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 cup torn fresh basil leaves
  • 4 ounces Cotija cheese crumbled (about ½ cup - or fresh feta)

Instructions

  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Brush corn with 1 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a sprinkle with chili powder. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred in spots, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then cut kernels from cobs.
  • Whisk with lemon juice, ¼ cup oil and spices in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add corn kernels, stone fruit, shallot, basil and cheese and toss to combine. Serve family style.

Notes

I love the flavor of grilled/charred corn, but you can also add it raw for a different taste. Nothing beats the freshest sweet corn!
