A vibrant and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled corn, a honey-Old Bay dressing, fresh veggies, and herbs. Perfect as a fresh side or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 2 tablespoons mild raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 cup fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cooked fresh lima beans or frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: diced avocado or crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: toasted pepitas for dairy-free option

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 204°C), approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Grill the husked corn directly on the grill grates, turning every 2-3 minutes for about 10 minutes until kernels have nice char marks and smell smoky.
  3. While the corn grills, whisk together honey, Old Bay seasoning, olive oil, and fresh lime juice in a small bowl to prepare the dressing.
  4. Allow the corn to cool for about 5 minutes, then stand each ear upright on a cutting board and carefully slice downwards to remove all kernels.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, cooked lima beans or edamame, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions.
  6. Pour the honey-Old Bay dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Fold in the chopped fresh basil just before serving to maintain freshness.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Both ways work well.

Notes

Do not overcook the corn; it should be tender but not mushy. If grill flares up, move corn to indirect heat to avoid burning. Add fresh basil last to prevent wilting. Use fresh lime juice for best brightness. Optional additions include diced avocado, crumbled feta, or toasted pepitas for creaminess or crunch. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and omit cheese.
