Grilled Sweet Corn Salad
- 6 ears fresh corn, husked, silks removed
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
- 3 scallions, white and light-green parts, trimmed and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Neelys Barbecue Seasoning (page 22)
- Heat the grill to medium high, or turn on the broiler.
- Brush the cobs evenly with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- When the grill is hot, grill the corn for 7 minutes, using tongs to turn the cobs as necessary for even cooking, until the corn is nicely charred on all sides.
- Remove the ears from the grill.
- (Alternatively, you can broil the corn, turning as necessary for even browning.)
- When the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to strip the kernels from the cob and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Add the bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro or parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons oil with the lime juice, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and Neelys Barbecue Seasoning.
- Pour the dressing over the corn mixture, toss well to combine, and taste to adjust seasonings (adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired).
- Serve at room temperature.
