Roasted Corn Salad

July 8, 2014 / Side Dishes, Tomato, Vegetarian, Salads

Savor the fresh flavors of summer with this simple roasted corn salad.

Among certain groups of friends or relatives, the question “How’s the blog going?” always comes up. It’s a bit of a strange question, but also not.

After all, when your blog is basically a job, people tend to be curious about it. At the same time there’s not too many people who are actually interested in whether something is getting traction on Pinterest or if a photo was accepted to FoodGawker.

Roasted Corn Salad is packed with arugula, tomatoes, and goat cheese.

With the former group, I just answer by way of making them good food. If I’m lucky, there’s no fuss, and we all tuck into our dishes with plenty of compliments shared among the crowd’s offerings. Just because I happen to write about and photograph my food doesn’t make my experience with edibles any better than theirs, and chances are they’re also turning out fantastic stuff in their kitchens.

This roasted corn salad is a dish I recently brought to a friend’s gathering, and we all liked it so much that I made it three days later for dinner. The sweetness of the corn and my homegrown tomatoes offset the bite of the arugula and red onion, and creamy goat cheese crumbles and mild vinaigrette pulled the whole thing together. On the drive home from the party I woefully stared at my empty dish, wishing I had eaten more. Oh, America.

Luckily the salad is a snap to put together. (psst… you can use a bag of Trader Joe’s roasted corn to save time. Just sayin’.) All you need to do is heat the corn, slice some tomatoes and onion, and shake up an easy-peasy basic vinaigrette.

I used sun-dried tomato goat cheese crumbles because that’s what I had on hand, but plain goat cheese will work perfectly fine too. You could also use avocado chunks in place of the goat cheese to make this vegan. Or with the goat cheese if you’re not vegan. I’m not one to judge.

Roasted Corn Salad is a snap to pull together.

Make this roasted corn salad for the next potluck you attend. I promise, people won’t look at you funny for bringing a salad. And if they do? Well, that’s their loss, and more of this for you to eat. But after all, what are we cooking for, if not to share it?

    The corn is SO close to being ready here, and I was hoping to come up with a good corn salad recipe when it does. Thanks for doing that work for me. 😉

    I absolutely love the flavor profile of this salad. The only thing I’m stuck on is the arugula. Since I was pregnant, I can’t eat it.. but I want the rest of this by the tubful! Think butter lettuce might be an okay substitute? I know it’s not as bitter, but that’s kind of the point.

      @Amber I’ll let you in on a secret… I normally hate arugula. But I had it on a salad recently that was dressed in a tomato vinaigrette, and it was really toned down, so I decided to try it in this one. I think the sweetness of the corn in this salad helps, but I totally understand your aversion. I don’t know if the butter lettuce would work as well because it’s pretty crisp. Can you do baby spinach? I used a “spring mix” when I made it again and that was nice, though I think that does usually have arugula.
