Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ears corn, shucked
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1 cup seeded and diced English cucumber
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. To roast the corn, rub the shucked ears of corn with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, reserving the remaining oil to dress the salad. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning often, until the corn is slightly charred and still crisp, 8 to 10 minute. Remove from the heat and cool briefly.
  • Cut the kernels off the cob and place in a large bowl. (Two cobs of corn should yield 1 1/2 to 2 cups of kernels.) Add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.

CORN AND FIRE-ROASTED POBLANO SALAD WITH CILANTRO



Corn and Fire-Roasted Poblano Salad With Cilantro image

This side dish was a hit served with enchiladas and I bet it would be good alongside quesadillas too. Please adjust the amount of poblanos to taste. I would suggest only using fresh corn to get the best flavor from this salad. From Everyday Greens a cookbook from a vegetarian restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Categories     Corn

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 medium red onion, diced, about 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ears corn, shaved, about 4 cups kernels
salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup peeled peeled seeded and diced roasted poblano chile (about 2-3 directions for roasting follow)
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Roasted Poblanos: Rub the chilies lightly with oil and place them on a stovetop grill or directly over an open flame. Grill over medium-high heat and turn, using metal tongs until the skins are evenly blistered and charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover with a plate or a lid; they'll steam as they cool. Loosen and peel the skins from the chilies. Bits of charred skin are ok. You can dip your fingers in water, but don't be tempted to dip the chilies in water or peel them under the running faucet-you'll lose their delicious flavor.
  • Salad: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and drop in the onions for 20 seconds. Drain and toss with the vinegar.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the corn, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the water, lower the heat, and cover the pan. Simmer covered, until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and toss with the chilies, onions, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Set aside to cool.
  • Just before serving, add the cilantro and season to taste with salt and cayenne.
  • Tip: To make this salad even easier, you can prepare the separate elements ahead of time and combine them at the last minute. The poblano chilies keep well for several days in the refrigerator or can be frozen and defrosted just before serving.

PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD



Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad image

You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Categories     easy, quick, one pot, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 6 ears corn, stripped of their kernels (2 to 3 cups)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
2 cups cored and chopped tomatoes
1 medium ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more or less

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to render fat; add onion and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
  • Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tomato, Cucumber and Corn Salad image

You can serve this refreshing mixture as a salad, as a topping for whole grains or as a salsa with grilled fish or chicken.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 to 1 1/4 pounds ripe tomatoes, cut in small dice
1/2 European cucumber, 2 Persian cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber, peeled if waxy, seeded if the seeds are large, and cut in small dice
2 ears corn, steamed for 4 minutes and kernels removed from the cob
1 to 2 serranos or jalapeño pepper, minced (seeded for a milder salad), or 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
Salt to taste
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice or lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Optional: 1 ounce feta, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Mix together all of the ingredients. Let sit in or out of the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving, then toss again.

Tips:

  • Selecting the freshest ripe tomatoes and corn on the cob is key to the vibrant flavor of this salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes, and choose corn cobs with plump, full kernels.
  • Roasting the poblano chili adds a smoky, slightly spicy flavor to the salad. If you prefer a milder taste, you can skip roasting the chili or remove the seeds before roasting.
  • Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use good quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice to enhance the taste of the salad. Freshly chopped herbs like thyme and cilantro add a pop of freshness.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese in this salad. Feta, goat cheese, or queso fresco would all be delicious options.
  • For a vegan version of the salad, omit the cheese and use a plant-based dressing.

Conclusion:

This corn and tomato salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The combination of sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, roasted poblano chili, and tangy lemon-thyme dressing creates a vibrant and satisfying dish.
