Roasted Corn Salad!

I can’t believe that it’s already May, but I’m also delighted, because it’s one of my favorite months. Flowers are all in bloom and the availability of Fresh From Florida produce just keeps coming in. This month is all about fresh sweet corn, along with cucumbers, mangoes (YES), bell peppers and so many more tasty ingredients ready for your next meal.

#FreshFromFL - @LittleFiggyFood - #SaladThis month, I decided to make this beautifully flavored Roasted Corn Salad with a Lime and Feta dressing.

Oh my goodness it’s good stuff!

You can serve it cold or room temperature. I like to use the bi-color sweet corn and prefer to roast them on the grill for the best flavor. Although if you can’t get to a grill, then you can also roast them under the broiler, or if you are someone that owns a flame thrower, by all means have a go at roasting your sweet corn however you see fit. It’s all good.

#FreshFromFL - @LittleFiggyFood - #SaladThe Roasted Corn Salad is a great accompaniment side for your next BBQ, dinner party or luncheon. If you have any leftover, you can always use it to pimp up your quesadillas, nachos or over a fresh bed of baby leaf lettuce.
