With summer beginning to slip away, I, for one, am making sure I can grab all the goodness it still has to offer, including delicious veggies in yummy salads, like chickpea avocado salad, vegan Caesar salad, beet salad and this scrumptious grilled corn salad with smoky, roasted or grilled corn. This is one gorgeous, colorful salad, with the grilled corn complemented by cherry tomatoes, basil and a creamy sesame seed dressing. It is also extremely healthy and versatile and it takes very little time to make. You can also customize it to include other veggies that can be eaten raw, and it is free of any added fats.
Why you’ll love this grilled corn salad
Delicious. The grilled corn with the sweet basil, tart-sweet tomatoes and the creamy sesame seed dressing is full of flavor and freshness. Summery. All the flavors of summer are packed in this salad. Easy. Salads are generally easy, of course, and this one is no different. You will need to grill the corn, but that takes minutes, and there’s barely any chopping involved. The simple salad dressing comes together in a blender and takes under five minutes to make. Goes with anything. Or it can be a light meal by itself. You can serve this corn salad with just about any entree you cook up, but on days when you don’t feel like making a fuss you can serve this as a meal, especially if you add the optional tempeh. Gorgeous, colorful and healthy. All of those colorful veggies are so, so good for you and they taste so good too. Oil-free. There are no added oils in this recipe and the only fat comes from healthy sesame seeds and cashews in the dressing.
