Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad
Proof that simple is best! Just 3 ingredients and you have the star of every summer meal, potluck, and barbecue. Vegan and gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh sweet corn on the cob
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 3-4 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
- 10-12 cranks fresh-ground black pepper
Instructions
- To grill corn, simply place it, in the husks, on a hot grill. Close the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, checking and turning with tongs every 5 minutes or so.
- Peel back the husks and pull off the fine silks. (They should fall off easily.) Cut kernels from the cob and place in a medium bowl.
- Add tomatoes and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine, taste, and add more salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- No grill? You can easily get a similar flavor by cooking corn in a cast iron skillet or grill pan. Husk the corn first, set the pan over medium-high heat, and add a drizzle of olive oil or butter. Place corn cobs in the skillet and cook, turning every few minutes, until tender and seared a bit on all sides.
- Yield: As written, this recipe yields 4 small side servings. If I'm serving just this and a protein, like chicken or fish, for dinner, I often make an extra ear or two or corn and add an extra handful of tomatoes.
