Dressing
- Combine lime juice, honey, cumin, garlic and salt. Stir to combine. In a slow steady stream, add oils, stirring continuously with a fork or whisk. Add more salt & pepper as needed. Set aside.
Totilla Strips
- Preheat oven to 400 ˚F. Stack tortillas on cutting board. Cut in half and cut each stack of halves into thin strips, crosswise (about ¼-inch thick).
- Transfer tortilla strips to a baking sheeting. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt, toss to coat. Bake for 15-20 min, stirring every 5min, or until light golden brown and crisp. Set aside and cool.
Salad
- Place corn, two ears at a time in microwave and cook for 3 ½ min. Remove from microwave and allow to cool for 5 min. After cooled, cut bottom end of corn off (approx. 1 ½ inches from end). Pull back husk and silks. Cut kernels from husks and set aside.
- Combine corn and other salad ingredients in large bowl. Stir to combine. Add dressing and stir to coat all ingredients. Garnish with cilantro (optional).
- Serve with tortilla strips on top of salad or as a side.
