Santa Fe Grilled Corn Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Corn on the cob season is finally here and there is dancing in the streets! Nothing beats the taste of fresh corn on the cob. No matter how you cook it, it is absolutely delectable. Sparky likes to grill corn to give it that nice smokey char that adds an extra ton of flavor. I asked him to grill a couple extra ears for us the other day so I could try my hand at making a grilled corn salad. I didn’t have a recipe, I just used what was in the fridge and pantry which is what I usually do. It turned out so gorgeous with all the bright colors and soooo tasty with the sweet corn, onions, peppers and that splash of lime juice that just brightened it all up. This one is going in my “personal favorite” file!

Here’s what we’ll need!

Mouthwatering!

 

Santa Fe Grilled Corn Salad

Crisp sweet corn with crunchy vegetables mixed with tender, tasty black beans and simply tossed with a lime juice, EVOO and a good handful of cilantro. A breeze to prepare which is so wonderful on hot summer days when you want out of the kitchen! I know the photo shows Grape Tomatoes but after taste testing, we agreed they do not need to be in the salad!
