Grilled Corn Salad With Maple-Lime Dressing

Love, love, love Grilled Corn Salad With Maple-Lime Dressing; great use of leftover grilled corn after a barbecue! If you don't have leftover grilled corn, use fresh ones and grill them or use frozen corn kernels and pan toast them just until a few get brown spots.

Grilled Corn Salad with Maple-Lime Dressing

Use your favorite color bell pepper and cherry or regular tomatoes for this colorful, flavorful, and delicious salad; I love to use yellow, orange or red sweet mini peppers and yellow or red cherry tomatoes. If frozen corn is used, you will need one pound of kernels.

4 Servings

Ingredients:

Salad:

3-4 ears grilled Corn, cooled

1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved or quartered

1/2 medium Red Onion, finely diced

1 Bell Pepper, diced

1/2-1 fresh Serrano/Jalapeño, finely minced (optional)

1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro/Parsley, finely chopped

Salt and Freshly ground Black Pepper

Dressing:

1 large Lime, juiced

1-2 tsp Maple Syrup or to taste

1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Salt and Freshly ground Pepper

Method:

If using fresh corn, grill until slightly brown spots appear. Cool and cut kernels from the corn cobs carefully. If frozen corn is used, pan toast until a few are browned. Let cool. Add to a large bowl.

Add all the salad ingredients to the corn in the large bowl. Add only a pinch of salt and pepper as more will be added in the dressing.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

Tip the dressing into the salad, mix and taste. Adjust salt, pepper, lime, maple syrup etc. 

Serve right away or chill until needed.

Enjoy!!
