Grilled Corn and Bean Salad image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 fresh or frozen ears of corn, husks removed
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 jalapeno or serrano chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 large or 4 small limes)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch chili powder
2 cloves garlic, pushed through a press
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Hot sauce, preferably Crystal Hot Sauce

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
  • For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Grilled Corn and Tomato Salad with Thai Basil Vinaigrette Dressing image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 large ears corn
Kitchen twine
1 small or 1/2 large red onion, finely chopped
2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
4 to 5 large Thai basil leaves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup chopped Thai basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Salad: Peel back the corn husks, but do not remove them completely. Carefully pick off and discard the wispy silk threads that are attached to the corn. Pull the husks back over the ears and tie the ends closed with kitchen twine. Soak the corn in large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, shake off the excess and put them on the grill for 15 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes until the corn is tender. Remove them from the grill and let the ears cool to room temperature.
  • Vinaigrette: While the corn is cooling, prepare the dressing. Puree all the ingredients, except the canola oil, in a blender or food processor. After the mixture is well incorporated, slowly drizzle in the canola oil while the processor is still running. Blend for 30 seconds, then transfer the dressing to a bowl.
  • Assembly: Once the corn has cooled, cut the kernels off the cobs into a medium bowl and discard the cobs. Add the red onion and grape tomatoes and mix to combine. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of the Thai Basil Vinaigrette Dressing while lightly tossing the salad together. Reserve the remaining dressing. Gently stir in the basil leaves. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, and add more dressing, if desired. Serve slightly chilled on serving plates, using a slotted spoon to keep excess liquids in the bowl.

Grilled Corn Summer Pasta Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: corn, olive oil, dried orecchiette pasta, cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, pepper

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears corn
olive oil, for brushing
8 oz dried orecchiette pasta, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups cherry tomato
½ cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 ½ cups fresh cilantro
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
  • Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
  • Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
  • Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
  • Enjoy!

GRILLED CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FETA DRESSING



Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad With Feta Dressing image

This lively salad of corn, scallions, jalapeño and avocado tossed with a tangy buttermilk-feta dressing is like summer on a plate. The sweetness of peak-summer corn and the richness of creamy avocado balance out the tartness of the dressing. To choose the perfect corn, make sure that the corn husk is bright green and slightly dewy to the touch, and that the silks peeking out at the top are yellow, not browned. Finally, the corn should be heavy for its size: the heavier the corn, the plumper the kernels.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

LEMON GRILLED SALMON WITH CORN SALAD



Lemon Grilled Salmon With Corn Salad image

A recipe for the adventuresome from March 2009 issue of BH&G. The recipe creator's name is Priscilla Yee from Concord, CA and she won $2500 for this recipe!! (The idea of blueberries mixed in a corn salad intrigued me, and love all the ingredients so I made this. DS and I liked it a lot, not DH-think the cumin might have been too much for him so if you have a dislike for cumin you should reduce it.) Priscilla was inspired to create this recipe b/c of "her father's post-heart attack switch to a healthier diet. She created this dish with some of her favorite healthful foods. Dad? He just turned 90." Love that story.:) Feel free to sub in green onion tops for the chives. After reading Chef#1227141 review I agree a bit of paprika on the salmon would be even better! I served with brown rice but a noodle thing would be good too. You could make the corn salad a day ahead, I did and it kept very well but I think it tastes better at room temperature.

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • Toss together all the pico de gallo ingredients and season the salsa with salt and additional fresh lemon and lime juice, if necessary.
  • Make the avocado purée:
  • Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender and add the mango and lime and lemon juices. Blend the mixture until it is smooth, then, thin the purée, if necessary. with water. Season the purée with salt.
  • For the prawns:
  • In a medium skillet over moderately high heat, melt the butter, then stir in the cilantro. Add the prawns and sauté, turning them occasionally, until they turn pink and are just cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes. Season the prawns with salt.
  • Plate the dish:
  • Divide the corn salad among 4 plates, spooning it onto the center of each plate, and top each serving with a prawn. Spoon the pico de gallo over the prawn and drizzle it with the avocado purée.

Tips:

  • Select the right corn: Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob with tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that has been sitting out for a long time or has brown or dried-out kernels.
  • Grill the corn properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Let the corn cool: Allow the grilled corn to cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob. This will make it easier to cut the kernels and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: In addition to the grilled corn, use fresh, flavorful ingredients in your salad, such as ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and sweet bell peppers.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your grilled corn salad. Try adding some chopped cilantro, parsley, or basil, or a sprinkle of chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Dress the salad lightly: Use a light vinaigrette or dressing to dress your grilled corn salad. A simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and a touch of honey or Dijon mustard is a great option.
