Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup polenta (coarse cornmeal) or yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 ears corn, husked
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 1/2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chopped English hothouse cucumber
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups water and salt to boil in heavy large saucepan. Gradually add polenta, whisking until boiling and smooth. Reduce heat to low. Cook until very thick, whisking often, about 25 minutes (about 15 minutes for yellow cornmeal). Whisk in cheese. Spread in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Cool slightly. Cover; chill at least 6 hours.
  • Whisk lime juice, oil and garlic in large bowl to blend. Set dressing aside.
  • Spray grill with oil spray; prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray corn and onion slices with oil spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until vegetables are tender, turning often, about 8 minutes for corn and 15 minutes for onion. Cool. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Coarsely chop onion. Add corn, onion, tomatoes, cucumber and mint to dressing; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut polenta into 4 squares. Cut each square diagonally into 2 triangles. Spray polenta with oil spray. Grill until heated through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Divide salad among 4 plates. Place 2 polenta triangles alongside each salad.

I used fresh corn from my garden in this recipe and it was so good. The corn was sweet and juicy and it really made the dish.

I added some grilled chicken to this dish and it was amazing. The chicken added a nice protein boost and made the dish even more flavorful.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this dish. The grilled polenta is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, while the corn, red onion, and cucumber salad is fresh and crunchy.
