Ingredients
- 3 ears sweet corn on the cob
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 5 radish sliced thin
- 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
- 3 scallions sliced
for the dressing-
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grill seasoning I used Mrs. Dash
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place corn into a large pot of cold water. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain corn.
- To char corn, place directly over the flame of a gas grill or onto a hot BBQ. Turn as it chars. You just want to get a little color on the corn and not completely burn it. Remove from heat and cut kernels off the cob and into a large bowl. Stir in red pepper, radishes, cilantro, and scallions.
- For the dressing, whisk all ingredients together and toss with corn mixture. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
