Easy Grilled Corn Salad Recipe
Sweet tender kernel of charred corn with a ton of different chopped vegetable textures is a dreamy salad ready to devour at the height of the season. Our version of grilled corn salad has plenty of fresh and healthy ingredients all combined into a huge bowl. Chopped cucumber, tomatoes and basil leaves really give this salad a fresh pop of textures. We madethis corn salad with black beans, but we know not everyone loves them, so it’s optional. Make it as you like it.
