Ingredients
- 4 to 5 corn ears (grilled or charred)
- 1/4 pound grape tomatoes (15 grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, cut in half, amount is approximate)
- 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded ribs removed and minced)
- 3 scallions (white and green parts diced)
- 1 celery rib (small diced)
- 1 large red bell pepper, small diced (or yellow bell pepper, small diced, you could also use a small jar of roasted red peppers; but, fresh is preferred)
- Olive oil
- VINAIGRETTE
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 small lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (sriracha, to taste - I like spicy)
- Kosher salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- Pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Corn ... Grill the corn, anyway you want. I lightly brushed mine with olive oil; then cooked them on my outdoor grill; but, a grill pan would work just as well. Once you have a nice char on the corn; cool until you can handle it - then, cut the kernels off the cob. Remember, the corn should still have a nice crispness to it.
-
Step 2: Salad ... Add the tomatoes, celery, peppers, jalapeno, and scallions to the bowl with the corn; and toss to combine.
-
Step 3: Vinaigrette ... Add all the ingredients to a small bowl or measuring cup; and mix to combine. Sriracha is spicy, so start out with half of the amount; then, mix and taste. You can always add more; but, you can't take it away. So, add as much as you want; and, taste as you go. Personally, I like it spicy.
-
Step 4: Finish, Serve, and ENJOY! ... Add the dressing to the vegetables; and, toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap; and, refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
