Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 fresh or frozen ears of corn, husks removed
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 jalapeno or serrano chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 large or 4 small limes)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch chili powder
2 cloves garlic, pushed through a press
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Hot sauce, preferably Crystal Hot Sauce

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
  • For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes     Corn Salad Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 ears corn, in husks, soaked in water 10 min.
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®), divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 medium red bell pepper, quartered and seeded
1 medium jalapeno pepper, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 medium avocados, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat for 10 minutes and lightly oil the grate.
  • Meanwhile peel back corn husks carefully, leaving them attached at the bottom. Drizzle oil over kernels and liberally sprinkle with 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning. Bring husks back up over corn.
  • Grill corn, turning often, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini, bell pepper, and jalapeno to the grill and cook, turning often, to allow grill marks to form on all sides, until vegetables are tender. Carefully peel down corn husks and allow corn to slightly char, developing grill marks. Remove from grill and allow to cool.
  • Remove and discard husks and cut kernels off corn cob. Cut zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince jalapeno.
  • Combine corn, zucchini, jalapeno, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in avocado just before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, in-season vegetables.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can roast the vegetables in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • To make the dressing, you can use any type of vinegar you like. White wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This brown rice, corn, and grilled vegetable salad is a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. It is packed with fresh vegetables, and the dressing is light and flavorful. This salad is perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks, and it is also a great way to use up leftover grilled vegetables.
