Provided by Beth Pierce

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

LIME VINAIGRETTE
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 Tbsp honey
1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/8/ tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
CORN SALAD
5 ears of corn shucked and de-silked
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 red pepper cut in small dice
1 c grape tomatoes halved
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1/4 c chopped green onions
1 jalapeno minced (seeds and veins removed)
1/2 c feta cheese
1/4 c thinly sliced red onion

Steps:

  • 1. In small bowl whisk lime juice, honey, ground cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil; whisking continuously.
  • 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sugar and lemon juice; stir to dissolve. Carefully add the corn to boiling water, cover pot, turn off heat and let the corn sit for 10 minutes. Plunge cooked corn into ice cold water to stop the cooking process. When corn has cooled cut it from the cob.
  • 3. Grab a large bowl and add the cooked corn, diced red peppers, grape tomato halves, cilantro, green onions, minced jalapenos, feta and red onion. Drizzle with the lime vinaigrette and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn. Corn on the cob is best when it's young and tender. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and no blemishes.
  • Cook the corn properly. To grill corn, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning it occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Let the corn cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This will make it easier to cut and will prevent the kernels from falling off.
  • Use a variety of ingredients in your corn salad. Some popular additions include tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro, and cheese.
  • Dress the corn salad with a flavorful vinaigrette. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a great option.
  • Serve the corn salad immediately. Corn salad is best when it's fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it's best to eat it the same day it's made.

Conclusion:

Corn salad is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion.
