    • 125g mayonnaise
    • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder

Method

Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, preheat a chargrill or barbecue to high. Toast the corn cobs until nicely browned, about 15–20 minutes. Cool a little, then slice off the kernels.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chilli powder and jalapeño chilli.

Add the potato and corn, then the rest of the ingredients. Season and serve.

This is the perfect barbecue salad or lunch. A good sprinkling of fried bacon or chorizo doesn’t go astray, and adds a lovely texture.
