Supplies:
Corn Salad:
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of grilled corn, cooked
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Cut the corn kernels from the corn cobs with a sharp knife. This is done best by holding the corn upright on a cutting board and slicing the kernels off in a downward motion.
2. Into the large mixing bowl combine the corn kernels, red pepper, hot pepper, tomatoes, onion and fresh herbs.
3. Add fresh lime juice, salt and pepper and toss corn mixture, mixing well.
4. Drizzle with a little olive oil to create a light dressing.
We love this combination of fresh ingredients and bright flavors but you may want to experiment and add…
Optional add ins:
- black beans
- green bell pepper
- chili peppers
- chili powder for a spicy kick
- feta cheese
Can you use other kinds of corn?
The short answer is yes, you may used canned corn kernels or frozen corn instead of grilled corn buuuuut… it won’t have the same delicious flavour.
This grilled corn salad is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
This summer corn salad may be served simply with tortilla chips or as an easy side dish for smoked brisket, grilled baby back ribs or BBQ salmon.
