Instructions

  • Place corn in a large bowl, add 2 tbs water, cover and steam in the microwave for 5 minutes. Drain off liquid and allow the corn to cool.
  • When the corn is cool, add all remaining ingredients and stir to coat. You may add more crema if you want a saucier salad.

Notes

A decent substitute for the crema is a 1-to-1 mix of mayonnaise and sour cream with about a teaspoon or so of fresh lime juice.
