Grilled Sweet Corn Salad will bring the summer to your table. It is crisp, fresh, sweet and savory and super yummy.
My all time favorite thing to put on the grill is sweetcorn. There is nothing quite like the crunch of fresh grilled sweet corn in the summer! Here I have taken that amazing ingredient and turned in to a salad. This Grilled Sweet Corn Salad is easy to make and is the perfect crowd pleaser at the summer bbq, picnic or lunch.
Living for 5 years in Chicago I have certainly had my fair share of great sweet corn. I love it, the crisp, sweet crunch of it with a little char straight off the grill smothered in butter and salt. Mmmmm, now that is summer!
If you want to lift the grilled corn to the next level, try this salad. A big bonus is that when the kernels are cut off the cob it won’t get stuck in your teeth!!
We enjoyed this salad last night for dinner along with Grilled Shrimp with Avocado Crema. They taste great together so give it a try!
