Instructions

Step 1

Trim the thicker end of each corncob so it can stand flat. Hold the tip of the cob into a shallow bowl. Then using a sharp knife, carefully cut in a downward direction as close to the base of the kernels, until all kernels fall off the cob into your bowl. Repeat with remaining corncobs.

Step 2

Add corn kernels into a medium pot and cover with water. Season with sea salt and pepper, bring to a low-medium simmer and cook over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, or just until crisp tender, but not overcooked.

Step 3

Immediately place kernels in an ice bath (a large bowl with ice & ice water) to stop the cooking process and to keep them bright yellow.

Step 4

Drain your corn kernels really well, and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 5

Add in diced bell pepper, tomatoes, chives, cilantro, jalapeño and garlic.

Step 6

Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with zest.

Step 7

Season with sea salt and pepper to your taste.

Step 8

Toss everything gently to combine well.
