You’ll love this Grilled Corn and Blueberry Salad when it’s hot outside and fresh blueberries and corn are everywhere. A little cumin, onions and cilantro give this a savory twist, a perfect summer salad.
With so many cook-outs coming your way this summer, I like to have a healthy salad to go with those burgers and ribs. This is one of my favorites because it uses grilled corn, which is fabulous by itself. Add to that fresh blueberries, some onion, cucumber and a little jalapeño and you get a salad that will steal the show. I love the sweet and savory combination.
When cooking the corn, you want it to be a little crisp, so as soon as it’s slightly cooked, remove it from the grill and take it out of the foil so that it doesn’t cook too much. It’s better if it has a little crunch to it and isn’t soggy. Now you’re ready for your first summer picnic or potluck. This would be great for a Memorial Day cook-out if you haven’t already planned your menu.
