I told you guys a few weeks ago I was having a corn moment… and I meant it! Today it’s all about this Roasted Pepper and Corn Salad!
I know we’re in this weird in-between moment in our social calendars. Some people have kids who are going back to school, some people are taking off for their end of summer vacations, and some people are just trying to live their best lives and stretch out summer for as long as possible. So whichever camp you fall into, this Roasted Pepper and Corn Salad works. It’s a great weeknight meal if you want to add some protein on top to feed a family. It’s an incredible salad if you want it as a side dish at your next backyard bash. And if you’re coming home from vacation in the near future… it’s basically detox city!! I’ve thought of everything – you’re welcome.
But bottom line is, I’m still not cooking inside. I’ve developed a serious addition to my grill and there’s no chance of letting up anytime soon. I even made Thomas go buy 3 extra propane tanks in case we ever run out – could you even imagine. The tragedy. So fire up that grill and throw some bell peppers, corn and tomatoes on for a very yellow salad. Add some cilantro vinaigrette on top and that’s all she wrote!
Like I said earlier – this would be great with chicken, beef or salmon on the side or on top!!
Roasted Pepper and Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Cilantro Vinaigrette
- 3 ears of corn, husked
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 4 ounces yellow cherry tomatoes
- 2 endive, leaves separated and halved if needed
- 2 cups baby arugula or mache
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Let cool; cut kernels off cobs and place in a large bowl.
- Transfer peppers onto the grill, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and nearly cooked through, 10-ish minutes. Let cool; cut into 1″ strips, retaining as much charred skin as possible; add to corn.
- Transfer tomatoes into a small grilling basket and put on grill for 3-5 minutes until just about to burst. Remove and let cool. Arrange everything on a large serving platter and gently toss to combine. Drizzle dressing over and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
