GRILLED CORN WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE.

Our Grilled Corn with Chipotle Mayonnaise is a breeze to make, thanks to canned chipotle peppers and jarred mayonnaise. For a lower fat version, try replacing some of the mayo with Greek yogurt.

Try our Couscous with Grilled Corn for a quick side dish. It goes well with freshly grilled salmon or chicken, with some grilled vegetables or a leafy green salad.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise

4 tsp (20 mL) finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

2 tsp (10 mL) fresh lime juice

6 cobs corn, husked

1 tbsp (15 mL) oil

To prepare chipotle mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers and lime juice until blended. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Cut each cob of corn crosswise into 3 pieces. Combine corn and oil in a heavy plastic bag. Squeeze bag to coat corn with oil. Remove corn from bag. Grill corn over medium heat on natural gas barbecue, turning occasionally, until blackened in a few spots, about 10 - 15 minutes. Serve with chipotle mayonnaise. Serves 6.

1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
