Grilled Corn Salad with Fresh Vegetables

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Corn Salad with Fresh Vegetables.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. This little step makes a big difference!

2. Step 2

   Place the corn, husks and all, onto the grill. Let it cook until the husks are beautifully charred on all sides, which should take about 20 minutes. Once done, carefully remove the corn from the grill and set it aside to cool. The aroma will have your taste buds tingling!

3. Step 3

   Once the corn is cool enough to handle, peel away the husks and silk. Now, it’s time to cut those sweet kernels off the cob. You’ll want to collect them in a bowl, ready for the salad.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels with the diced celery, green bell pepper, onion, and chopped pimento peppers. This colorful mix is not just a feast for the eyes but also for the palate!

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, Dijon mustard, sugar, and a sprinkle of black pepper. This dressing is the secret to bringing all those flavors together!

6. Step 6

   Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, and toss everything together until well coated. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 3 days if you can wait that long! The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together, creating a deliciously refreshing salad that’s perfect for any occasion.
