Grilled corn with cumin-lime compound butter
Prep 10 Min. Cook: 10 Min. Serves 8
Fresh corn is a good source of fiber, and
grilling it adds a smoky flavor. Lime juice provides vitamin C and cumin
contains magnesium, which helps prevent preeclampsia. Make- ahead tip: Prepare
the compound butter a day ahead so it has plenty of time to chill.

·
¼ teaspoon grated lime zest
·
¼ teaspoon lime juice
