Recipe Cilantro Tomato Corn Salad (Salad)

Required Ingredients:

• 3 ears fresh corn in husks
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch salt-free lemon-herb seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)

Preparing/Cooking:

• Peel back corn husks, but leave them attached at the bottom.
• Remove the silks, and fold husks back up over the corn.
• Place on a dinner plate, and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on High power, turning corn once half way through.
• Cool until cool enough to touch, then slice corn kernels from the cob and place them in a serving bowl.
• Stir butter into the corn along with the tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, garlic and cilantro.
• Season with salt, pepper, and seasoning blend.
• Mix well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Some people like the salad warm, but I prefer to chill it a little before serving.
