Spicy Grilled Corn and Peach Salad with Basil

This is all the summer flavors you love wrapped into one delicious salad! It’s the perfect salad recipe to bring to a barbecue or summer potluck, and use up all of that beautiful peaches, corn and basil we have this time of year! If you don’t have a grill you can always boil the corn instead. Enjoy!

Ingredients

- 2 Tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)

- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 2 tsp raw honey

- sea salt & black pepper (to taste)

- 2 ears corn on the cob (husk removed)

- 2 peach (small, sliced)

- 2 Tbsp red onion (finely chopped)

- ½ jalapeño pepper (medium, diced)

- ¼ cup basil leaves (chopped)

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the lime juice, oil, honey, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat a grill or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook for one to two minutes per side or until lightly charred on all sides. Let the corn cool before slicing the kernels off the cob and transferring them to the bowl.

3. Add the peach, red onion, jalapeño, additional salt, and pepper, and toss to combine. Gently fold in the basil. Divide evenly into bowls or plates, and enjoy!

Notes:

Leftovers

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to two days. Add the basil just before serving.

Serving Size

One serving is approximately 1 1/2 cups.
