This Grilled Corn Salad recipe is one that is nice to serve when you have company around.  I served it at a dinner party so many years ago, and it has been a favorite ever since.

Everyone loves good, sweet corn.  So keep your eyes open for a sale on corn, and plan to make this recipe as soon as you can bring some home!

What are the ingredients in a Grilled Corn Salad?

You’ll need 5 to 6 ears of corn for this recipe.  Chopped red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno are also added to the salad.

How to make Grilled Corn Salad:

The only cooking involved in this recipe is to grill the corn.  No need to put anything on the corn at all, just remove the husks and place the cobs on a heated grill.  Keep turning them every so often until there are a few good char marks here and there.  Besides that, you’ll add fresh ingredients to the rest of the salad (the bell pepper, red onion, cilantro and jalapeño).

Don’t be afraid to add jalapeño.  If you chop it finely, it’ll be dispersed throughout the salad and it won’t be spicy at all.

The dressing for this Grilled Corn Salad will probably seem kind of weird to you, but don’t fret– it works!

For the dressing, you’ll be combining light mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, and the zest and juice of three limes.  THREE!  As you’re adding the lime zest and juice, you’re probably going to be second guessing this recipe and thinking there is way too much lime going into it.  DON’T WORRY!  It totally works.  The result will be light and tangy lime vinaigrette.  It totally works in this salad, and everyone seems to enjoy it as a unique salad recipe!

If you’re looking for more salads that are perfect for summer, try Watermelon, Feta and Arugula Salad or Greek Zucchini Salad.  A Peach Panzanella Salad also looks amazing.  And this all time summer favorite is my Avocado, Cucumber and Tomato Salad.
