Preparation

Step 1

1. Soak the corn in its husks in heavily salted water overnight in the refrigerator, keeping the ears submerged below the surface with a plate weighed down with a heavy can.
2. Prepare and preheat your lump charcoal grill to medium-low.
3. Put the corn, still in its husks, on the grill, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix to combine the garlic, jalapeño, and a large pinch of salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice and olive oil and whisk to combine, Add the avocado, tomatoes, scallions and cilantro and toss gently to combine.
5. Remove the corn from the grill. When cool enough to handle, peel back the husks, discard the silk, and slice the kernels off the cobs directly into the bowl with a knife. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
