Corn Salad Recipe with Dill
Corn Salad
An almost-constant staple at my table
Especially in the summer when the corn is so sweet and tender I use it raw. It works perfectly as a salad and as a side dish. Out of season, I use second-best frozen corn
It looks like red, yellow and green confetti and is very lightly seasoned, so the corn is the star.
In the unlikely event you have any corn salad leftovers, they will be good the next day, too.
I love corn
Anything made with corn, I come running! Corn salad, Corn pudding, Corn Chowder Corn latkas/Fritters, you name it!
Corn salad makes a great side dish too!
I love to serve it with grilled chicken, poached salmon, sliced steak, black bean burgers or grilled tofu for a light summer meal
Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn kernels, all husks removed
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dill
- 1/2 red pepper, cut in tiny dice
- 4 scallions, sliced very thin
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and white pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring water to boil in a large pot.
With a sharp knife, using a vertical motion, scrape off the corn kernels from the cob on top of a cutting board, cutting as close to the cob as you can. Add the corn and boil five minutes. Drain and let cool. (Skip the boiling step if the corn is very tender, and use it raw). Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix. Serve at room temperature.
