Grilled Corn Off The Cob Salad Recipes

MEXICAN CORN-OFF-THE-COB SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill corn in the husks on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, to desired tenderness, about 15 minutes; some charring is fine. Remove from the grill. Remove and discard husks and silk when cool enough to handle. Cut kernels off into a medium bowl.
• Add lime juice and chili powder, then mix in cotija cheese, cilantro, mayonnaise, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Taste and add salt if necessary.

GRILLED CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Grill the corn, bell pepper, and zucchini: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Rub a little olive oil over the bell pepper. Place the red pepper and the corn (in their husks) directly on the grill grates. (See our method for grilling corn-on-the-cob .) Cover the grill. Turn corn occasionally, so that every part of the husk is blackened. Also turn the red bell pepper occasionally until the skin has blistered up all around it. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. When the corn and peppers are about 5 minutes away from being done, rub olive oil over the zucchini pieces and place the zucchini pieces directly on the grill grate, cut side down. Turn them over after a few minutes when they have some nice grill marks on them. Let them cook for just a minute or two on the other side.
• Finish prepping the red pepper: Place charred bell pepper in a bowl and cover with a plate so that it steams in its own heat. Once the bell pepper has cooled a bit, remove the charred peel. Cut open the pepper, remove the seeds and stem. Chop the bell pepper into small pieces.
• Cut the kernels from the corn cob: Let the corn cool down for a few minutes and pull back the husks. Take a small bowl and turn it upside down in a larger bowl. Stand the corn husks vertically, tip facing down, on top of the upside down small bowl. (You can also use the center of an upturned bundt pan.) Use a sharp knife to make long, downward strokes, removing the kernels from the cob, as you work your way around the cob.
• Chop zucchini: Slice the grilled zucchini again lengthwise and chop into small pieces.
