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!

  • Make the dressing ahead of time: You can make the dressing for the salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Feel free to experiment with different toppings for the salad. Some good options include crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, diced avocado, or roasted red peppers.
