Grilled Corn Salsa

grilled corn salsa

Sweet is good, but salty-sweet is better.

As Minnesota State Fair goers know, grilling makes corn even cornier, drying the kernels a bit and concentrating their flavor to sweet, chewy heaven. Sliced off the cob, tossed with crunchy onion, fresh cilantro, a squirt of lime - and salt of course! - this salsa is just lovely summer food. I thought I'd be tempted to add fresh chiles to the mix but you know what? I think the salsa is better without the heat.

The corn is the salty-sweet star here, just the way it should be.

Stephanie, you did it again. Every time I come to your blog I see a dish that I was just about to make - only you always make it one step better! I seriously was going to make a corn salad tomorrow, and now I know what recipe I'm going to use! Smiling

By the way, I also wanted to say that I gave my CSA okra to one of my friends while I was away and told her to make your okra, tomato, bacon recipe. She did, and she loved it so much, she even took a picture! Smiling

Thanks as always, for your awesome inspiration.

Hi Heather! Thanks for the sweet comments, love that both the corn & okra recipes fit the bill. Both are the ideas of cooks much smarter than I am - which I love - and both ROCK! Love that your friend took a pic, ha, that's when you know it's goooood Eye-wink
