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.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ears corn, with husks
½ lime, juiced, or more to taste
½ teaspoon chili powder
5 ounces crumbled cotija cheese
¼ cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Grill corn in the husks on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, to desired tenderness, about 15 minutes; some charring is fine. Remove from the grill. Remove and discard husks and silk when cool enough to handle. Cut kernels off into a medium bowl.
  • Add lime juice and chili powder, then mix in cotija cheese, cilantro, mayonnaise, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Taste and add salt if necessary.

Tips:

  • Select the right corn: Choose fresh, sweet corn with tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that has been picked for more than a day or two, as it will start to lose its sweetness.
  • Grill the corn properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the corn for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Let the corn cool: Allow the corn to cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This will make it easier to cut and prevent the kernels from falling apart.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher and higher quality the ingredients you use, the better your salad will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette is all you need to dress this salad. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavors of the corn and other vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer picnics, potlucks, and BBQs. With its sweet and smoky corn, fresh vegetables, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this grilled corn salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
