    I make this simple but delicious Grilled Corn and Tomato salad each year as the season turns and the sweet corn becomes plentiful & the tomatoes are at their ripest. Some fresh herbs, a twist of lemon and lime, and it's the very essence of late summer in a bowl!

    🌽Ingredients

    This salad is all about the freshest, seasonal ingredients.

    • Sweet Corn on the Cob the fresher it is, the juicier and sweeter the corn! Try and get corn that has fresh green looking husks. Peel some of the husk away to check that the corn is plump and juicy.
    • Really Ripe Tomatoes Sweet corn season coincides with the best and juiciest of the tomato season. Make sure yours aren't kept in the fridge for the most fragrant flavour. (even better if you can pick your own from your garden or have a local grower!)
    • Fresh Herbs I alternate between using mint, coriander, basil and parsley in this salad. Any combination that you fancy will taste AMAZING.
    • Fresh lemon or lime juice. A really good squeeze will make the flavours all come together.

    👩‍🍳How to

    1. Char grill the corn. Either on the BBQ or under your grill in the oven.
    2. Chop the corn kernals off the cob
    3. Chop the ripe tomatoes, spring onion .
    4. Choose your favourite herbs and chop.
    5. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, add lime or lemon juice,
    6. Add olive oil, salt and mix, taste for seasoning and serve!
    • 1) Grill or BBQ corn on the cob
    • 2) Carefully cut the corn nibs off the cob
    • 3) Chop tomatoes and spring onion.
    • 4) Chop the fresh herbs
    • 5) Squeeze over the lime juice and mix.
    • 6) Add some olive oil and salt, mix, taste and serve!

    ❓FAQ

    How do I know if the corn I choose is fresh?

    Choose corn that has light green, soft husks that is wrapped up tightly against the corn cob. The tassles should be fresh looking and not dried out. If you can, peel back a layer of the husk and check the kernals to see if they are fresh and plump!

    How long will this salad keep?

    This salad remains fresh for up to three days in the fridge. It stands well out of the fridge too, making it great to take on picnics or for lunch. Keep it cool and out of the sun!.

    Which herbs can you use?

    Fresh herbs of your favourite variety! I like to use a combination of mint, coriander (cilantro) and parsley. Or use basil and parsley for a more 'Italian' flavoured salad.

    🥗 Serving Ideas.

    I make this Grilled Corn and Tomato salad for the last of the summer BBQs, charring the corn on the BBQ grill before all the veggie patties and skewers get put onto the grill. Or I make a batch using the oven grill for dinner, knowing there will be plenty of left overs for lunch the next day. It's one of those salads that keeps well, or even improves with a bit of sitting around.

    Try these recipes to accompany it!

    • BBQ Peri Peri Seitan Chicken
    • Vegan Smokey Seitan and Black Bean Sausages

    It's also brilliant stuffed into some soft tacos, maybe with some quick guacamole and some refried beans to accompany it.

    The sweet corn season is all too brief, so make the most of it & the juiciest tomatoes while they are ripe and plentiful.
