GRILLED CORN SUMMER PASTA SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Corn Summer Pasta Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: corn, olive oil, dried orecchiette pasta, cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, pepper

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears corn
olive oil, for brushing
8 oz dried orecchiette pasta, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups cherry tomato
½ cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 ½ cups fresh cilantro
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
  • Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
  • Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
  • Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choosing the best corn: Select fresh, sweet corn on the cob with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid corn with dry or damaged kernels.
  • Preparing the corn: Remove the husks and silks from the corn. To remove the kernels, hold the cob vertically and slice downward with a sharp knife. Alternatively, you can use a corn stripper.
  • Cooking the corn: For the best flavor, cook the corn immediately after harvesting or purchase. You can boil, grill, roast, or steam the corn. Boiling is the simplest method and takes about 5-7 minutes. Grilling imparts a smoky flavor and takes about 10-12 minutes. Roasting brings out the corn's sweetness and takes about 20-25 minutes. Steaming preserves the corn's nutrients and takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Adding flavor: Enhance the flavor of the corn salad by adding various ingredients such as chopped herbs (cilantro, basil, or parsley), diced vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, or bell peppers), crumbled cheese (feta, Parmesan, or cotija), and a flavorful dressing (vinaigrette, ranch, or honey mustard).
  • Serving suggestions: Fresh corn salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even a light meal. Pair it with grilled meats, fish, or tofu for a complete meal. You can also serve it as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos.

Conclusion:
