Ingredients
  • 4 ears, husks removed Corn on the Cob
  • 1 medium, diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 small, seeded and minced Jalapeño
  • 1/4 medium, finely chopped Red Onion
  • 1/4 cup, chopped Cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Grill the Corn

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the corn on the cob, turning occasionally, until kernels are slightly charred and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Cut the Corn Kernels

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, stand each ear upright and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob.

Prepare the Vegetables

Dice the red bell pepper. Seed and mince the jalapeño. Finely chop the red onion. Chop the cilantro.

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Chill and Serve

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
