GRILLED CORN, ASPARAGUS AND SPRING ONION SALAD
In this cookout perfect salad, corn, asparagus and spring onions benefit from the deep flavors of the grill. Their outer layers get a rustic char, their full sweetness is released, and they go from raw to cooked while maintaining a crunchy bite. Still warm, they're doused in one of Mexico's most fun ways to dress grilled vegetables or potato chips, an easy-to-eat sauce where umami, citrus and heat converge. The mixture is typically referred to as salsa preparada, meaning you simply mix these sauces together to "prepare" your food. You may wonder if the soy, Worcestershire and Maggi sauces compete, but each has a different character of sazón, which is whisked with plenty of fresh squeezed lime juice and a punch of chile oil. If more heat is desired, you can add a splash of your favorite hot sauce. This salad is great solo as an appetizer, but it is even better served right next to grilled meats.

Steps:
- Heat grill to high. Lightly brush corn, asparagus and spring onions with vegetable oil. Place them on the grill and spread them out in one layer so they can cook evenly. Flip the vegetables a couple of times until they are charred on all sides but retain a firm bite; asparagus and spring onions should cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, and corn about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the grill as they are ready, then set aside.
- While the vegetables grill, combine lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Maggi, chile oil and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Once vegetables have cooled enough to handle, cut asparagus and spring onions into thirds and add them to the bowl. Shave the kernels from the corn, discarding the cobs, and add kernels to the bowl. Toss to combine with the sauce. Add the halved tomatoes and combine well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Select the freshest corn and sweet onions: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for corn that is plump and has bright green husks, and sweet onions that are firm and have no blemishes.
- Grill your corn and onions to perfection: Grilling adds a delicious smoky flavor to the corn and onions. Make sure to grill them over medium-high heat until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Let your corn and onions cool before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing made with sour cream or yogurt are both good options. Avoid using heavy dressings, as they will overpower the delicate flavors of the corn and onions.
- Add some fresh herbs or spices: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or mint can add a pop of flavor to the salad. You can also add a pinch of chili powder or cumin for a bit of spice.
- Serve the salad immediately: Grilled corn salad is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it as a side dish or as a light main course.
