Charred Corn and Poblano Salad
Charred Corn and Poblano Salad may be a perfect recipe for you!
Looking for a fresh, colorful, and tasty summer side dish?
I made this for our Father’s Day celebration and my family absolutely loved it.
It’s perfect to serve at a party especially because it’s served at room temp or even chilled.
This would also be an amazing side dish at dinner with some grilled chicken or steak.
How to make Charred Corn and Poblano Salad
The first thing I did was cook 10 slices of bacon.
I cut the bacon right into a skillet over medium heat using kitchen scissors.
Cook 5 to 7 minutes and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Then I hide that plate of bacon from my family or there would be none left 😉
Ten ears of corn, two poblanos, a red bell pepper, and red onion are up next.
Cut the onion into thick slices and brush all the veggies with olive oil.
Then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
And place them all on a grill that has been set to medium high.
.
The word “charred” is in the title of this recipe, so make sure you deliver on the charred part of this dish.
I even moved my veggies around to make sure they all got a good char from the hottest parts of my grill.
The veggies take about 10 to 12 minutes total.
Let them cool slightly and then remove the stems and seeds from the peppers.
Mine pulled out pretty easily.
Then dice them and put them into a bowl, and dice the onion as well.
Cut the corn off of the cob with either a knife or a corn scraper if you have one.
Add the corn kernels to the bowl along with fresh cilantro.
Also add the cooked bacon, and a lime dressing that I made earlier by mixing together olive oil, lime juice, sugar, kosher salt, and pepper.
Mix the Charred Corn and Poblano Salad together and taste for seasoning.
Mine needed just a bit more kosher salt and pepper and then it was perfect.
