Charred and Herbed Corn Salad with Crab image

My favorite summer recipe I created. It's refreshing and very tasty. Must be served immediately. Try with scallops instead of crab!

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ears corn, kernels cut from cob
2 leeks, white parts only, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and diced into 1-inch chunks
½ lemon, juiced
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 (6 ounce) cans lump crabmeat, drained and flaked

Steps:

  • Place corn kernels in a colander to filter out small pieces; transfer to a bowl. Add leeks and garlic; stir to combine.
  • Toss diced avocado with lemon juice in a separate bowl to avoid browning.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat; cook and stir corn mixture until corn is uniformly browned, 4 to 8 minutes.
  • Fold corn mixture, avocado, rice vinegar, basil, salt, and tarragon together in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with crabmeat.

I'm always looking for new ways to use corn, and this salad is a great option. The charred corn gives it a nice smoky flavor, and the dressing is light and refreshing. I will definitely be making this again this summer.

This charred corn salad with crab was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet corn, briny crab, and tangy dressing was irresistible. I'll definitely be making this again.
