3 ears fresh or grilled corn on the cob about 2 cups

1 cup queso fresco or Cotija cheese divided, reserve ¼ cup for garnish

1-2 tablespoon cilantro chopped, optional

For the Chile Lime Dressing:

  • 1 cup light sour cream

  • ½ cup light mayonnaise

  • 1 lime zest

  • 2 tablespoon lime juice

  • 2 tablespoon water or milk

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder chipotle

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and let cool on a large baking sheet.

If using fresh uncooked corn, or leftover grilled corn, just cut the kernels from the cob.

If grilling the corn, lightly coat it with oil. Char it over high heat with the lid down for about 8-10 minutes. Turn occasionally to cook evenly. Since grills vary, be sure to pull the corn off before it's overcooked, otherwise it will be quite dry. Remove from the grill and remove the kernels when cool enough to handle.

If roasting corn in the oven, cut the kernels off and spread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Cook at 450º F for about 15 minutes.

Make Chile Lime Dressing.

Combine pasta, corn, queso fresco, dressing, and cilantro in a large bowl. Gently mix until well combined.

Serve immediately or chill.
