Roasted Corn Salad

319shares
Jump to Recipe -

This Roasted Corn Salad is a go-to and you’ll see it often served alongside any BBQ dinner at my house. One of the first times I served it, I was told, “This is so good, it’s like a de-constructed salsa. I could eat it all with a bag of tortilla chips.”

It’s been said that you eat with your eyes before you taste, and if that’s the case, this salad is DELICIOUS!! It is so fresh and flavorful and colorful!

Don’t be thrown off by the steps in the recipe. Yes, you need to grill the corn, and prep the veggies, and make a dressing, but it is worth every step. The slightly sweet lime dressing is perfect with the roasted corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and the creamy avocados.

Roasted Corn SaladWe got a new grill recently and I was so excited that we BBQ’d every part of our dinner that night. We had grilled chicken, grilled artichokes (recipe coming soon), and this Roasted Corn Salad. I have no idea how many years we had our old grill, but I’ve never seen one so worn out. We knew it wasn’t heating evenly, but when it refused to light one evening, I decided to take it apart and inspect it a little. Oh my goodness, there were holes in the gas line, which literally broke in half at the slightest touch. Time for a new one! haha, can you tell I’m excited? I literally could have done a whole post on my shiny new Weber.

Back to the salad…. and as with many of my recipes exact measurements are not very important. A little more of this, a little less of that, no big deal. It’s still going to be delicious!!

The first step is to clean the corn, drizzle it with olive oil, and season with my BBQ Spice Blend. Grill it, turning it often, for about 15 minutes.

When the corn is grilling, prep the veggies and make the salad dressing.

Roasted Corn Salad

This is a great make "earlier in the day salad." The longer it sits, the better the flavors develop.
Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 avocados peeled and cubed
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
  • 1/4-1/2 cup cilantro rough chopped
  • Olive oil for drizzling on corn
  • 1 TBSP BBQ spice blend
  • 1 lime
  • For dressing:
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 3 TBSP honey
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Clean and rinse corn.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with BBQ spice blend.
  • BBQ corn over med heat for approx 15 minutes or until corn becomes tender and you get a few grill marks.
  • Let corn cool and cut from cobs.
  • While corn is BBQ'ing, add cherry tomatoes (cut in half), avocados (peeled and cubed), and chopped cilantro to med bowl. Squeeze juice of one lime over veggies. This prevents avocado from browning. Set aside.
  • Make dressing: combine lime juice, oil, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne in small bowl (I use a glass measuring cup). Whisk thoroughly until well mixed.
  • Add corn to bowl (that contains tomatoes, avocados, etc). Top with dressing and mix gently. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate.

I found this recipe years ago on Pinterest. I have no idea who’s original recipe it is. If it’s yours and credit is due, please let me know. I’d love to give you credit and link you.

      Today while grilling steaks, we added fresh corn on the cob still in the shuck… Directly over the hot coals with pecan & pear wood. the Shucks were blackened and the flavored smoke permeated through to the cob. I cut the kernels from the cob and will be making a deliciously roasted flavored ” Corn Salad”….

    Renee,
    After a decade with a portable grill running on a creme brûlée torch-size tank, I’m delighted with our new grill and finding new excuses to grill All The Things!
    This corn salad looks like a great addition to our summer table, and I’m eagerly waiting for the corn to appear at roadside stands!

    This is certainly the type of salad that I like to eat! I swear, even though I was born and raised in Canada, somewhere deep inside me is a corn-fed southerner. 🙂

Do you have your Easter Menu set and your shopping done? It doesn’t matter if we host Easter dinner or brunch, you’ll likely find a large platter of grilled asparagus as one of the side dishes! This year it will be served alongside quiche, ham, fruit parfaits, deviled eggs, and cinnamon roll monkey bread for Easter brunch! Click on the link in my profile to see how I make my grilled asparagus.

Easter! Wow, I can’t believe it’s this Sunday! Do you have any Easter family traditions? Ours usually starts off with church, followed by an egg hunt and enjoying either brunch or an early dinner with family and friends. I’ll be hosting a small family brunch this year. I’m still finalizing my menu, but plan on including a delicious ham served with this Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze! You can find the recipe on my blog (follow the link in my profile).

Happy Easter my sweet friends!

Just three more days till Valentine’s Days! I love how this table turned out, with the black and red! I added more elements to it than I normally do, but I was in the mood for a fun bright table! I talked about adding layers to a tablescape in my blog post, if you want to head on over and read it. The link is in my profile.

Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) isn’t a new recipe. I was curious enough to look it up and read that it started in the Midwest in the early 60’s. 
I’ve snacked on it plenty of times, but had never made it until this week. A few colored M&Ms easily transforms it into a treat for any holiday or occasion!

Happy February Friends! I was going to share a recipe today, but a Valentine’s treat was more appropriate for today! 
❤️❤️❤️
Let me know if you love charcuterie as much as I do! This board was a little bit appetizer and a little bit dessert! The perfect combo served with a glass of bubbly!

Setting a table can often feel challenging between Christmas and Valentines or early spring. Christmas has been packed up, but it’s still winter! I do a little Valentines decorating, but usually not until February 1st. Other than a few cozy blankets, pillows, and candles, my home and tabletop typically feel pretty bare the month of January. 
☔️🌧☔️🌧☔️
What do you do to cozy up your home this month? Are you decorated for Valentines es Day? Full on Spring? Or feeling a little bare, like me? 
🌧☔️🌧☔️🌧
And, for anyone who might be wondering..... yes, I love to keep my table set (with at least a runner and centerpiece). And if you happen to pop in and see it fully set, I do that too! I love the look of a set table in my dining room. Now, if this darn covid would go away! I’m ready to host a dinner with friends and family!

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!
