Grilled Corn Salad
Description
Grilled Corn Salad begins by grilling whole corn in husks over medium heat until cooked and slightly charred. Once cooled, the kernels are sliced off the cob directly into a bowl containing a zesty dressing. The dressing includes sour cream and Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), combined with lime juice and zest, garlic, finely diced jalapeño, and white wine vinegar, resulting in a creamy, tangy base with a subtle heat.
The salad is brightened further with fresh vegetables: halved cherry tomatoes, chopped English cucumber, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro. These ingredients contribute crunch, creaminess, and herbal notes that complement the smoky sweetness of the corn.
This salad makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats or as a flavorful, fresh side on its own. The grilled corn provides a smoky depth, balanced by the creamy textured dressing and crisp, fresh vegetables.
