How To Grill Charred Corn

This is the easiest method for grilling corn with charred edges. Peel the corn and remove the silks. Lightly spray corn with a little oil then grill over direct heat, turning the corn often until it is charred all over, about 12 to 15 minutes. To shell the corn, let it cool a few minutes then transfer to a cutting board and hold the corn upright. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn off the cobb.

Variations and Tips

• Corn can be grilled a day ahead before assembling the salad.
• Can be eaten warm or cold.
• Add fresh diced tomatoes.
• Swap the red onion for chives.
• For a Mexican twist, add fresh cilantro and lime juice.
