Grilled Corn And Parsley Salad Recipes

GRILLED CORN AND PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Start up grill, if using charcoal, or wait until corn is ready if using a gas grill. Or preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small saucepan over a very low flame, reduce balsamic vinegar to 1 tablespoon, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Drizzle olive oil on corn and carrot and season with sea salt and pepper. Place corn and carrot on grill and cook until lightly browned. Or roast in oven for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Let cool. Cut off kernels and finely chop carrot.
• Trim off parsley stems and finely chop. Sauté with garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until lightly browned. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Roughly chop parsley leaves and combine with sautéed parsley stems, grilled corn, carrots, scallion, and avocado. Dress with reduced balsamic and olive oil. Taste and season with sea salt and pepper as needed. Top with croutons.

GRILLED CORN "TABBOULEH"

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Lightly oil grate.
• Add ears of corn to pan and grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides and tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer corn to a cutting board. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Cut kernels from cobs. Discard cobs or reserve for another use. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup parsley leaves and transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining 1/2 cup parsley leaves, the corn, mint, jalapeño, garlic, oil, Aleppo pepper, coriander, lemon zest, and lemon juice to bowl. Stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve salad immediately or chill, covered, overnight.

GRILLED CORN AND BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
