servingsingredients
4 ears of corn, kernels removed (about 4 cups)

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions
- Place a cast iron or nonstick pan over a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or medium-high stove top. Pour in the canola oil. Once the canola oil is shimmering, add the corn kernels. Toss the pan every now and then, allowing the kernels to char all over, about 8 minutes.
- When the kernels are just about ready, throw in the minced garlic, salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 minute longer. Pour the corn kernels into a salad bowl. Add the mayonnaise, lime juice, basil, cilantro, feta, chili powder, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
