I threw this salad together with ingredients I had in my kitchen one evening. This light and tasty alternative to a regular salad will accompany Mexican dishes perfectly. This also works well served as a dip with tortilla chips and tastes even better a day after making it. Serve as a side dish or as a dip with chips and salsa.

Corn Salad with Simple Vinaigrette image

This is a yummy salad made with fresh corn. Feel free to change up the add-ins to your liking.

Categories     Corn

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 -8 ears fresh corn
1/2 red onion, fine dice
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and fine dice
1 -2 avocado, seeded peeled and chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and fine dice leave some seeds in if you like heat
1 tablespoon morton's natures seasoning
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teasoon sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 lime, juice of
salt & pepper
4 ounces Cotija cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the corn, brush it with olive oil or spray it with cooking spray and char it on the grill, or if you have a gas stove, you can do it right on the burner. Just put it on and rotate until the corn begins to brown and char a little. This adds another layer of flavor to the dish - but you can skip it if you like and the salad will still be delicious!
  • Once the corn is cool, cut it off the cob and place it in a bowl. Add the red onion, red bell peppers, avocados and jalapeno. Sprinkle on the Nature's Season and toss to mix well.
  • Next, if you are making the dressing, mix the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, and lime juice well. You can either whisk it in a bowl or whiz it up in your blender. Alternatively - if you don't want to make the dressing you can just use 1/3 cup of Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette or Brianna's Classic French Vinaigretee.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad in the bowl and mix well to coat. Let the salad sit in the fridge for 30-60 mins to chill and let the flavors blend. Right before serving crumble up the Cojita cheese and sprinkle it on top of the salad and serve!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this salad, as it has a sweeter and more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn.
  • Grill or roast the corn: Grilling or roasting the corn adds a smoky flavor that enhances the salad.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to 24 hours in advance, making it a great time-saver.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint, add a pop of flavor and color to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little vinaigrette goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress the salad.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the corn will start to lose its sweetness and flavor over time.
