Instructions

Step 1

Steam the corn for 6-7 minutes, then let cool.

Step 2

Remove the corn kernels from the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. You can do this by holding the corn cob upright in a large bowl, and slicing downwards with a small serrated knife. You want to slice close to the core so you get as much as the corn kernel as possible.

Step 3

Add the diced shallot, spring onion, cucumber, green capsicum and jalapeno. Toss to combine.

Step 4

Squeeze over the lime juice and pour in olive oil. Add the avocado and coriander followed by salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Toss.

Step 5

To make the Spicy Tahini Yoghurt, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve together.
