Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn, shucked and silk removed
- 1 red bell pepper, chooped
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- juice of 1 persian lime
- 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
- salt, pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high for at least 15 minutes. Brush the grill grates with oil.
- Brush the ears of corn with oil on all sides, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- While you are waiting for the grill to preheat, heat up 1/2 a Tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the red onion, season with salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the onion is softened. Add the red bell pepper, jalapeño and garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Cover and turn off the heat.
- When you grill has preheated, place the corn on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
- Take the corn off the grill and cut the corn kernels off the cob. Since the corn is really hot at this point, I usually use a pair of tongs to hold the corn in place while I cut the kernels off.
- Combine the corn with the other vegetables. Add the remaining olive oil, lime juice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Whenever I mix up any kind of salad, I like to do it in a much bigger bowl, since it makes it much easier to mix. Then I simply transfer the mixed salad to a clean serving plate and don’t have to worry about cleaning up the sides of the bowl. Serve warm or cold.
- This salad can be made up to 1 day in advance. Keep refrigerated. (You can reheat it later in a skillet on medium heat, or serve it cold.)
