Corn salad recipes are a hit during the hot summer season because they make for refreshing, crunchy, and sweet appetisers. This grilled corn salad highlights the flavour and texture by using grilled corn, a mix of crunchy and creamy veggies, and a spicy, sour lemon dressing. It’s easy enough for beginners to make and layered enough for foodies to enjoy! This corn salad recipe can be made with leftover grilled corn as well. Thus, if you spent an evening grilling corn on the cob and have a few extra pieces lying around, use them in this salad for dinner. The dressing includes olive oil as the base, mixed with citrusy lemon juice, fresh and crisp coriander, and spicy chilli oil. As for the salad, the bell peppers and cucumbers add the crunchiness, while avocados bring the creamy contrast. Basil and lemon (if used) work to elevate the freshness. The secret to any good grilled corn salad recipe is properly charring and drying the grilled corn. If you don’t char it enough, the flavour stays flat. And if you don’t let the kernels cool before using the salad turns watery. Keep these pointers in mind, and you’ll have a salad that feels like a treat during the balmy evenings.
