Roasted Corn Salad

304shares
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. 🙂

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!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

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!

Did you know it’s National Cookie Day? Or maybe it’s National Cookie Week. Either way, it’s always a good day to make a batch of these Gooey Christmas Sprinkle Cookies! They’re the easiest cookies to make and everyone loves them! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Hi friends! 
Here’s a big question for you? Do you serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner?

I did not grow up with green salads at Thanksgiving, but years ago I added this Blackberry Spinach Salad to my menu and now I can’t imagine the holidays without it! Besides being delicious, it’s is so festive!!! The recipe link is in my profile.

I rarely share my home, unless it’s a dining room tablescape or something I’ve cooked, but this morning when I walked into the kitchen, I was immediately filled with joy!! The house is clean (mostly) and the Christmas decorating is nearly done. With all the heaviness going on with tighter Covid restrictions, I am choosing to have a great day!! 🎄❤️🎄 I’m heading out to do a few quick errands, then plan to crank up the Christmas music, make my afternoon coffee, and sit and enjoy! ❤️🎄❤️ What are your plans today?

I’ve ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey and now it’s time to start the grocery list making for the rest of our dinner. Our Thanksgiving dinner is very traditional! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, jello salad, veggies (creamed spinach or roasted brussel sprouts), green salad, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, and THESE DELICIOUS CANDIED SWEET POTATOES! I can’t make enough of these for my family, they literally “gobble” them up! Recipe link is in my profile!

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that we bbq all summer long, but once it’s Fall and weather changes, all I want is soup! It’s certainly a good thing that my husband enjoys it as much as I do! I have my grandmas old soup pot, and although I occasionally use my crock pot (or Instant Pot), I much prefer to simmer my soup on the stovetop using Grandma’s old soup pot!

This delicious Hamburger Soup is the perfect recipe to share for #recipeswapsaturday. You can find the recipe link in my profile.
