Time 22m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 ears fresh corn, husked, silks removed (4-6 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided (or veg. oil)
1/2 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
3 tablespoons scallions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon neely's barbeque seasoning (The Neely's Barbeque Seasoning)

Steps:

Heat the grill to medium high, or turn on the broiler. Brush the cobs evenly with 2 tbls. oil.
When grill is hot, grill corn for 7 minutes, using tongs to turn the cobs as needed for even cooking, until nicely charred on all sides.
Or you can broil the corn, turning as needed for even browning.
When the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to strip the kernels from the cob and move them to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro(or parsley).
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tbls. oil with the lime juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper, and Neely's Barbecue Seasoning.
Pour the dressing over the corn mixture, tossing well to mix thoroughly and taste to adjust seasonings(adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired).
Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
Note:.
For an extra smoky flavor, grill the scallions until charred and soft, 3-4 minutes total, then finely chop.

Tips:

Choose the right corn: For the best flavor, choose fresh corn on the cob with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid corn that has dried or yellowed husks.
Grill the corn properly: To get the perfect char and smoky flavor, grill the corn over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. You can also grill the corn in a grill pan over medium heat.
Let the corn cool: Before cutting the kernels off the cob, let the corn cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to handle and prevent the kernels from sticking to the knife.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and basil, add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad with just enough dressing to coat the kernels and vegetables.
