Ingredients for the Grilled Corn Salad

  • 8 ears of corn on the cob
  • 3-4 red peppers
  • 1 jalapeño, remove the seeds if you don't want this dish overly spicy
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper for adding to the corn and red peppers before grilling (A few twists of each)
  • Additional sea salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for the dressing

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1/4 cup shallots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees.
  • Add the corn, jalapeño and sliced red peppers to a baking sheet and brush the extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper on both sides.
  • Add the red peppers, jalapeño and corn to the grill and grill on each side for about 5 minutes. If you want additional char on the corn, turn up the flame under it a little bit.
  • Once the corn and red peppers are done, set them aside to cool down.
  • Chop the other ingredients for the salad (except the avocado) and make the dressing while you wait.
  • Once cool enough, chop the red peppers into bite sized pieces and cut the corn off the cob. Dice the jalapeño. Add it all to a large bowl and then add in the red onion, basil and parsley.
  • Chop the avocado right before serving and add the feta cheese. Then drizzle all of the dressing over the top and mix together.
  • Serve with additional sea salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions for the dressing

  • Add all the ingredients together and whisk well in a bowl.
  • Cover and reserve until ready to serve the salad.
