Grilled Corn Salad

Come summer I start craving all sorts of salads and fresh, cold side dishes.  This particular day we were grilling up our ribs, so I decided while JZ had the grill on I felt for some sort of grilled corn salad, I mean - grilled corn is amazing!  As I looked on Pinterest I came across this Grilled Corn Salad and I knew I had to try it.  The pieces of mint and the honey-lime dressing sold me!

Grilled Corn Salad

• 5 ears fresh corn, in the husk
• juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 of a small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small cucumber, seeded & finely chopped
• 1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Instructions
Grill your corn on a hot grill - I took mine our of the husks, but you can certainly grill them in the husks for about 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, stand the corn cobs upright on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut straight down, slicing the kernels from the cob. Set aside.

Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until fully combined. Add the corn, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, and mint; toss gently until everything is coated.

I am in love with this salad!  We refrigerated the leftover salad and it kept well for about 3 days!  This is the perfect side dish for grilled chicken, ribs or steak - it would also be a great side for fish, seriously anything!
