Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the corn on the cob with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred on all sides. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the corn cools, dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the cilantro. Place them all in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob. Add the grilled corn kernels to the mixing bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 5

Prepare the honey garlic dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
