Charred Corn Salad

Charred Corn Salad: This colorful and tasty salad combines sweet charred corn with fresh veggies and a zesty dressing. Perfect for a side dish or a light meal.

Char the corn: Heat your grill on medium-high heat. Grill the corn for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until bits are lightly charred. Alternatively, you can char the corn kernels in a hot pan. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Put the corn in a single layer as soon as the oil is shimmering and hot. Allow the corn to sit, undisturbed, for 4-5 minutes before stirring. About 8 minutes of cooking time. If you don’t have a grill, you can char corn on the stove. Turn the oven on to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed sheet plate, and bake for 35 – 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool completely

Prep the marinade: While the corn cools down, in a large bowl, combine the extremely finely chopped red onions, extremely finely chopped jalapeños, if necessary, the 1/3 cup lime juice, and 3 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes, and approximately 1 hour (this helps to soften the onions and meld the flavors).
Cut the corn kernels: Using a sharp knife, hold a corn cob over a large bowl and carefully slice the kernels off of the cob. Put the kernels into the same bowl as the marinated onions.
Add the salad: To your bowl with the corn and onions, add the diced red bell pepper, the cherry tomatoes cut in half or quartered, the rinsed and drained cannellini beans, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sliced mint.
Dress the salad: In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing onto the salad, and toss gently to combine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use frozen or canned corn?

  • While fresh corn is ideal, you can use frozen corn (thawed and drained) or canned corn (drained) if necessary. Try to char it in a hot skillet to get some of that smoky flavour.   

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare most of the ingredients in advance, like grilling the corn, chopping the veggies, and making the dressing. Store them separately in the fridge and toss everything together just before serving to keep the salad fresh. If you are prepping this salad in advance, keep the salad ingredients separate and toss them with the dressing just before serving. This keeps everything fresh and prevents the avocado from browning.   

  •  

How do I prevent the avocado from browning?

To keep the avocado from browning too quickly, slice it just before serving the salad.

What can I add for more protein?

To make it a more filling main dish, you can add grilled chicken, shrimp, black beans, or chickpeas.

How do I get the perfect char on corn?

  • To achieve that beautiful char on your corn, make sure your grill or skillet is super hot before adding the corn. Rotate the cobs occasionally to ensure even charring, and don't be afraid to let some kernels get a bit darker for extra smoky flavor.
