Categories Food & Cooking Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 ears of corn, in their husks
2 jalapeno chiles
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, stemmed, seeded, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon very finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon mint, roughly chopped
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

Place corn in a deep bowl with enough water to cover, place a plate or other heavy waterproof item on top to keep the corn submerged. Let soak for 1 hour.
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Transfer corn to grill and cook, turning, until outer leaves are blackened, 20 to 25 minutes. Place jalapenos on grill and cook, turning occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove corn and jalapenos from grill and let cool.
Remove husks and silk from corn; discard. Remove kernels from cob and place in a large bowl. Stem, seed, and finely chop the jalapenos and add to bowl with corn along with tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, mint, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Stir to combine and serve.

Tips:

Choose the Right Cornbread: Use a slightly sweet cornbread for a balanced flavor profile. Day-old cornbread works best as it holds its shape better on the grill.
Grill the Cornbread to Perfection: Grill the cornbread slices until they have beautiful grill marks and a slightly crispy exterior.
Make a Flavorful Vinaigrette: The red wine vinaigrette is the key to the salad's deliciousness. Use a good quality red wine vinegar for the best flavor.
Use Fresh Arugula: Baby arugula adds a peppery flavor to the salad. Make sure to wash and dry it thoroughly before using.
Don't Overcrowd the Salad: When assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will help ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Grilled cornbread salad with red onions, arugula, and red wine vinaigrette is a delightful summer salad that's easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of grilled cornbread, fresh arugula, tangy red onions, and a flavorful vinaigrette creates a salad that's both satisfying and refreshing.
