Recipe: Corn Salad with cheesy dressing

February 18, 2020 by Shari Leave a Comment

I am loving simplicity these days – even though my life is far from simple. Two of my favourite summer salad ingredients would have to be lettuce, iceberg lettuce to be specific, and fresh corn. I mean, there is something just so good about some charred BBQ corn. And corn is always a winner with the boys.

They’ll basically eat corn any way they can get it. Fresh corn on the cob, steamed, boiled or BBQed. Tinned corn. Creamed corn. Baby corn. Frozen corn tossed through the fried rice. Popcorn! I know that corn will always be a winner.

Now, this salad does have a blue cheese dressing which might put a few people off. But I love it! And it always reminds me of eating blue cheese with a friend after we would watch the women’s basketball – and the many times she took a little home.

Why not try this quick little salad next time you are planning to have a BBQ.

Recipe: Corn Salad with cheesy dressing

  • 4 corn on the cob
  • 1 iceberg lettuce
  • 1 avocardo
  • 4 spring onions
  • 30 grams mature cheddar cheese
  • 30 grams blue cheese
  • 6 tablespoons natural yoghurt
  • 1/4 of a clove of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons English mustard
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 sprigs of fresh coriander

Lightly char the corn on the BBQ and set aside.

Trim and roughly chop the lettuce, and trim and finely slice the spring onions, then add to the bowl.

Break the cheeses into a blender, and spoon in the yoghurt. Peel and add the garlic, followed by the mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, then blitz until smooth, and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.

Carefully slice off the corn kernels and add to the bowl. Diced the avocado and add. Pour over the dressing, toss together and pick over the coriander leaves, then serve straight away.

I feel like we definitely up the amount of fruit that we eat during the holidays cause everyone seems to be always snacking...

And well, when you’re at school, you’ve got what you’re sent with - and there is really only that crazy period between 3:15 and 5:30pm when they ask for snacks until dinner.

I mean, at least this is what they are eating...

Start by browning off some chicken thighs ( I bought these ones from @delishdeliveries with the skin on and the bone in). 

Sauté with 2 brown onions and a head of garlic. Season and then add cherry tomatoes, passata and thyme. Transfer to a 180 degree oven for 45 minutes. 

I served mine with a mash of potatoes, spinach and more garlic 🧄 No vampires here 😝

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
