Street Corn Tortellini Salad

​Prep Time: 25 Min
Cook Time: 30 Min

Yields: 4 + Servings

WHAT YOU NEED

• 2 Cobs Fresh Peaches & Cream Corn (+ 3 Tbsp. Grana Padano, 1 Lime, Himalayan Salt)
• 400g Frozen Cheese Tortellini
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 1/2 Red Onion, diced
• 1/2 Bunch Green Onions, sliced
• 1 Jalapeno, seeded & diced
• 1/4 C Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped

DRESSING

• 3 Tbsp. Sour Cream
• 2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp. EVOO
• 1 clove Garlic, crushed
• 1/4 C Fresh Cilantro
• Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 Lime, juiced
• 1/4 Tsp. + Himalayan Salt

GARNISH

• Tajin seasoning, Fresh Cilantro, Crumbled Feta Cheese

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat your oven to 425 F. Husk / clean the corn and get it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Give the cobs a good spray with cooking spray. Once the oven is preheated, bake the cobs about 25 minutes, flipping once or twice throughout the process.
• Bring a pot of cold, salted water to a boil. Once boiled, boil the tortellini noodles according to package directions. Do NOT overcook them as this will ruin the salad. Once cooked, strain them to a colander and rinse with cold water until no longer steaming.
• In the meantime, make the dressing. Add everything to a small vortex blender and blend until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust salt / lime juice if desired / to taste.​

​

• Once the corn is cooked and slightly cooled, strip it from the cob and add it to a small mixing bowl. Toss together with the 3 Tbsp. grana, salt to taste, and start with half the zest & juice of the lime. Taste and add the remaining lime juice if needed.
• Add the dressing to a large mixing bowl followed by the red and green onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, and finally, the cooled tortellini. Toss until everything is creamy and coated well. Transfer the salad to a large serving bowl.
• Top the salad with the roasted corn, as much crumbled feta cheese as your heart desires, fresh cilantro, and a generous sprinkling of Tajin seasoning. Serve and ENJOY!
• Salad is best eaten that day. It can be refrigerated for 3 days approximately, but dries quite quickly. You'll probably need to freshen it up with some EVOO and perhaps more lime juice.
