Grilled Corn Salad
The perfect summery salad recipe!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
SALAD:
- 5 ears corn on the cob, shucked
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded & diced
- ½ cup minced red onion
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded & finely chopped
DRESSING:
- ½ cup light mayonnaise
- ½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 3 medium limes, zest & juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
PREPARE SALAD:
- Grill the corn, dry, no oil. Just grill it until you begin to get some char marks on the corn. Cut the kernels off of the corn after grilling and place them in a large bowl. Add the bell pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeño.
PREPARE DRESSING:
- In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, lime zest and juice. Whisk to combine the dressing ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables (you may wish to dress the salad lightly and not use all of the dressing, so add a little and then assess if it needs more) and toss gently.
Notes
- If preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, please make sure you are using a brand of mayonnaise that is known to be GF.
- Flavors are better if you make this salad 12 to 24 hours ahead of time.
