PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD



Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad image

You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Categories     easy, quick, one pot, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 6 ears corn, stripped of their kernels (2 to 3 cups)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
2 cups cored and chopped tomatoes
1 medium ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more or less

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to render fat; add onion and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
  • Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Use fresh, sweet corn on the cob for the best flavor. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before roasting.
  • Roast the corn properly: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before roasting the corn. This will help to caramelize the corn and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Roast the corn for just 15-20 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked corn will be mushy and bland.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and basil add a bright, herbaceous flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

This corn, roasted red pepper, and cilantro salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The combination of sweet corn, roasted red peppers, fresh cilantro, and a tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy side dish, give this salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
