Description
A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, dressed with a zesty lime dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grill the corn: Preheat your grill. Place the husked corn directly over medium heat. Grill until the kernels are charred, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove from heat and cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
- Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, place the grilled corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- Whisk together the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mix. Gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly and ensure even coating.
- Serve immediately: This salad shines when served fresh. Enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and crunch.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Grill the corn a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Combine ingredients just before serving for freshness.
