Grilled Sweet Corn with Lime-Chili Coconut Mayo (pareve)

A really great mexican street food inspired side for your summer bbq or potluck.  Enjoy!



Ingredients
4 ears corn
2/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup canned coconut milk
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced

Salt, to taste
Red chili powder, to taste
2 limes cut into wedges, for garnish


Directions
Remove the husks of the corn but leave the core attached at the end so you have something to hold onto. Grill the corn on a hot grill or cast iron griddle pan until slightly charred. Turn it so it gets cooked evenly all over. Mix the mayonnaise, coconut milk, and cilantro together. While the corn is still warm slather with mayonnaise mix. Squeeze lime juice over the corn and season with salt & chili powder and serve with extra lime wedges.
