๐Ÿ”ฅ Method

  1. Season the mielies: Rub the corn with olive oil, Fire Wave, Lemon Leaf and a little black pepper.
  2. Get them properly charred: Braai or cook the mielies in a very hot grill pan, turning regularly, for about 8โ€“10 minutes until tender with plenty of dark, caramelised spots.
  3. Cut the corn: Allow to cool slightly, then carefully slice the kernels from the cobs.
  4. Make the dressing: Mix the Nach-O-Average Under Fire Sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, Fire Wave and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Build the salad: Combine the charred corn, red pepper, diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, half the feta, spring onions and coriander.
  6. Dress it: Spoon over the creamy Nach-O-Average dressing and gently toss. Don’t overmix โ€” you want the avocado and feta to keep their texture.
  7. Finish: Top with the remaining feta, extra coriander and crushed tortilla chips. Serve with fresh lime wedges.

๐Ÿ”ฅ BlixSam Tip

Don’t be shy with the char on those mielies. Those dark caramelised bits are where the magic happens and work beautifully with the creamy, slightly fiery Nach-O-Average dressing.
Only add the tortilla chips just before serving so they stay properly crunchy.
