I love grilling vegetables — the heat caramelizes them, making them extra sweet and smoky. One of my favorites to grill this time of year is corn on the cob. Corn, being naturally sweet, turns even sweeter with the heat of the grill.
It’s delicious to eat a fresh grilled ear of corn right off the cob, no fussiness required. Even better, though is to cut those kernels off and make a salad. One loaded with herbs, flavored with an avocado oil and lime dressing, and oh yeah — packed with flaked Barnacle Bill’s Oregon Hook and Line Caught Albacore Tuna.
The tuna is meaty and flavorful, and compliments the grilled corn nicely. Because it has such a clean flavor, it is delicious with the avocado oil. Some sweet red peppers and a bit of crumbly Cojita cheese round it out nicely.
This salad would be perfect to take to a party if you need to bring a dish, but it’s just a really good meal to make on a night when you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather with a cocktail or glass of wine. It’s filling, tasty, and not another grilled burger or steak.
