Best Grilled Corn Off The Cob Salad Recipes
MEXICAN CORN-OFF-THE-COB SALAD
This salad was inspired by the recipes I've seen for grilled Mexican corn on the cob--mayo, lime, cotija cheese--just adjusted for those that would rather not eat corn on the cob or to save time (and grill space) during your bbq! Can be served cold or at room temp.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Grill corn in the husks on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, to desired tenderness, about 15 minutes; some charring is fine. Remove from the grill. Remove and discard husks and silk when cool enough to handle. Cut kernels off into a medium bowl.
- Add lime juice and chili powder, then mix in cotija cheese, cilantro, mayonnaise, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Taste and add salt if necessary.

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
- Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.
GRILLED CORN SALAD
Steps:
- Grill the corn, bell pepper, and zucchini: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Rub a little olive oil over the bell pepper. Place the red pepper and the corn (in their husks) directly on the grill grates. (See our method for grilling corn-on-the-cob .) Cover the grill. Turn corn occasionally, so that every part of the husk is blackened. Also turn the red bell pepper occasionally until the skin has blistered up all around it. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. When the corn and peppers are about 5 minutes away from being done, rub olive oil over the zucchini pieces and place the zucchini pieces directly on the grill grate, cut side down. Turn them over after a few minutes when they have some nice grill marks on them. Let them cook for just a minute or two on the other side.
- Finish prepping the red pepper: Place charred bell pepper in a bowl and cover with a plate so that it steams in its own heat. Once the bell pepper has cooled a bit, remove the charred peel. Cut open the pepper, remove the seeds and stem. Chop the bell pepper into small pieces.
- Cut the kernels from the corn cob: Let the corn cool down for a few minutes and pull back the husks. Take a small bowl and turn it upside down in a larger bowl. Stand the corn husks vertically, tip facing down, on top of the upside down small bowl. (You can also use the center of an upturned bundt pan.) Use a sharp knife to make long, downward strokes, removing the kernels from the cob, as you work your way around the cob.
- Chop zucchini: Slice the grilled zucchini again lengthwise and chop into small pieces.
