Instructions
Creating this incredible Grilled Corn Salad involves simple steps. Follow this guide to bring the dish to life:
1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure it’s hot enough to grill the corn evenly.
2. Prepare the Corn: Peel the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
3. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
4. Cool the Corn: Once grilled, remove the corn from the heat and let it cool slightly before handling.
5. Cut the Kernels: Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a mixing bowl.
6. Add Vegetables: To the bowl, add the diced red and green bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
7. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
8. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well combined.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste your salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt according to preference.
10. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
By following these steps, you will successfully create a beautiful and tasty Grilled Corn Salad.
