Ingredients

• 3 ears fresh corn
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 medium lime
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

2. Husk the corn and lightly brush with olive oil. Grill the corn for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until there are slight char marks and the corn is cooked through. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

3. While the corn cools, halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

4. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Add both to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 5

5. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob by standing an ear of corn upright on a cutting board and slicing downward with a sharp knife. Add the corn kernels to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

6. Juice the lime into a small bowl, and whisk together with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper for the dressing.

Step 7

7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.

Step 8

8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
