  • Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 lime, peeled, quartered
    • 1 small garlic clove, peeled
    • ½ cup (10 g) fresh cilantro leaves, approx. ¼ bunch
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 4 ears of corn, husked
    • 1 cup (150 g) mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 2 green onions, roots trimmed, sliced finely
    • 1 (120 g) avocado, peeled, pitted, diced
    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped finely
    • 1 fresno chili or jalapeño pepper, minced

    Method

    1. Grill the corn cobs over a hot grill, rotating often until all sides are lightly charred and cooked. Remove and allow to cool.
    2. Place the first six ingredients, through the honey, into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the blade base.
    3. Start the machine on its lowest speed, then slowly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 30 seconds or until desired consistency is achieved.
    4. Carefully cut the kernels off the corn and add to a large mixing bowl. Combine with scallions, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, fresno pepper, and desired amount of vinaigrette, mixing well to combine. Serve immediately.

    Recipe Notes

    Corn is indeed an incredibly nutrient dense vegetable. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this summer delight!

    We like to add about ½ cup (120ml) of vinaigrette to this salad so the freshness of the summer vegetables can shine, but feel free to add any amount you desire!
