  • 8

Ingredients

  • 2 red bell peppers, halved, cored and seeded
  • 10 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 5 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 scallions, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 c finely chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a gas grill to medium. Oil grates; grill peppers, turning over once or twice, until charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover tightly. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove from bowl; scrape away skin.

Brush corn with 1 Tbsp olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill corn, turning, until lightly charred, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

In a large bowl, whisk vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper and whisk in remaining olive oil.

Dice peppers; cut corn kernels from cobs. Mix peppers, corn, scallions and cilantro in bowl with dressing and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

*I cheated and used frozen corn. I just put the corn and diced red peppers in a pan and cooked them on the stove. I didn't take the skin off the peppers. We really liked it!
