This grilled corn summer salad features grilled fresh corn and poblanos with fresh tomatoes and avocado for a delicious summer salad that’s perfect for cookouts! (gluten-free, vegetarian)
One of my absolute favorite things about summer is the super fresh sweet corn. Nothing else can compare to a fresh ear of juicy corn in the summertime. Lately I’ve been putting it in salads raw. If you’ve never tried it that way, you definitely should. It’s super fresh tasting on a hot day.
But today’s salad features the best way to eat corn in the summer – grilled of course!.
This yummy grilled corn summer salad is one from last year that got tossed out when I switched my blog over to a new hosting site. I don’t know how, it just did. But it’s so yummy that I couldn’t let it get away, and since it’s summer and you’ve got lots of cookouts to attend, I though it’d be the perfect time to share it.
The great thing about this grilled corn summer salad, that features sweet grilled corn and fiery poblano peppers is that it can be enjoyed either warm or cold, making it the perfect dish to bring to any gathering. You can make everything the day before and simply toss in the avocado before you head out the door. Or, you can enjoy it warm straight from the grill at home. Either way, you’ll have a delicious salad bursting with summer flavors!
