Summer Corn Salad Recipe
As with many late-summer dishes, this recipe highlights the sweet, fresh flavor of seasonal corn. With the short window at markets, I make sure to seize every opportunity to enjoy it—carpe corn-um!
Once prepared, you won’t be thinking about the effort, as the dish’s remarkable taste will captivate you.
Preparation Steps
Start by grilling or broiling fresh corn alongside poblano peppers until they develop a pleasing char and smoky aroma. After cooling, cut the kernels from the cob, peel and chop the peppers, then combine them with scallions, cilantro, and lime for a vibrant, green contrast. Adding chopped pickled jalapeños introduces a lively, tangy kick.
Serving Suggestions
This colorful salad is served atop a creamy bed of mashed avocado, adding richness to the dish. Juicy slices of chili-seasoned chicken breast with a mild heat complete the meal.
Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, this healthy, flavorful plate celebrates the bounty of summer corn at its best.
