Ingredients
The Salad
- 3 3 cobs corn
- 1 1 lb farmer's sausages sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 1 medium red pepper diced
- 1 1 medium orange pepper diced
- ¼ ¼ cup Thinly sliced red onion
- ½ ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 1 large avocado diced
The Dressing
- 2 2 tablespoons orange juice from ¼ orange
- 2 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime
- 2 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- 2 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped
- 1 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from a jar of chipotle peppers
- 1 1 teaspoon honey
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your BBQ to medium-high. Lightly coat the cobs of corn and farmer sausage in the vegetable oil. Place them both on the BBQ and grill for 10 minutes, turning the sausage once and the corn a few times. Remove them both from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- While the corn and sausage cook, make the rest of the salad. Place all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.
- Add the red and orange peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to a large bowl.
- Chop the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Hold the corn on end on a plate and cut the corn kernels off by sliding a sharp knife down the side of the cob.
- Add the corn, diced sausage, and avocado to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to coat.
