Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the corn on the cob with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred on all sides. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
While the corn cools, dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the cilantro. Place them all in a large mixing bowl.
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob. Add the grilled corn kernels to the mixing bowl with the other vegetables.
Prepare the honey garlic dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
