Grilled Corn Salad
The smokiness of this grilled corn salad is fantastic with the green onions, warm cumin flavor and hint of butter. Plus, grilling corn is just a lot of fun.

Plus, grilling corn is just a lot of fun (see the picture below the recipe). You get to char the heck out of something and not stress about it.
This grilled corn salad makes a perfect side dish!

Grilled Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn, still in their husks
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- To prepare the corn, carefully peel back the husk without removing it completely and tear off the silky threads. Gently fold the husk back over the corn. Fill a large bowl or pot with cold water and soak the de-silked corn for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn (still in it’s husk) on the grill and cook the corn, flipping it when each side turns black and charred. The whole grilling process should take about 8-10 minutes (depending on the heat of your grill). The corn husks will get awfully black but don’t worry about that. If you are worried about whether the corn is done, using an oven mitt or something else to protect your hands, pull back the husk and gently cut off a piece of the corn to test it.
- When the corn is juicy and cooked, cut the kernels off the cob (again, using an oven mitt or towel to hold the hot corn while you cut off the kernels). Toss the hot corn with the butter. Stir in the cumin, salt, pepper and green onions. Serve immediately.

I made gluten free cookies, gluten free pancakes and gluten free bars— none were very good.
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease nearly 4 years ago. Ive learned alot and am still learning new cooking methods all the time. I tried making your Firecracker Chicken a few nights ago… and it was amazing. My fiance said it was better than any take out. And Im fairly certain both kids didnt say a word, as they were shoveling their food in. We had leftover the next night and then I had to make it again two nights later:) This time with Franks Extra Hot Sauce and a few dashes of red pepper flakes. We like things HOT 🙂 Cant wait to try another one of your recipes!
That cookbook looks amazing! Most gluten-free baking recipes that I have tried have not been all that good—-always something lacking. I would love to have the cookbook especially for that reason. Thank you for all your recipes, Mel….the grilled corn salad is YUMMY!
i just started eating gluten and dairy free. just found out the day before mothers day i was allergic to both and i am still trying to figure out how to cook stuff.
As far as I KNOW, we don’t have any gluten problems in our family. Hopefully we never do. I have not make a gluten free meal intentionally…perhaps unwittingly. It seems like a lot of work (and expense?) but I guess one learns to do it efficiently.
I’m not a picky eater at all but I’m not sure I would enjoy gluten free alternatives as much.
Many of my friends are gluten intolerant so I like to make sure when hosting a party that I accommodate those restrictions. It is so much fun trying out new recipes. My favorite is making all kinds of cookies!
While my son doesn’t have celiac disease, he is glutton intolerant and so we’ve had to adjust his meals to accommodate the issue. My favorite gluten-free meal is pesto quinoa pasta…. my repertoire is REALLY limited, I would love the opportunity to find some tried and true recipes that have been tested and found to be EASY to make and yummy for a picky eater… our biggest problem is how to eat outside the house when rice isn’t an option on the menu… would love any suggestions (other than bringing my own food)
I have a friend with fibromyalgia that is having good success when eating gluten free (she just recently was told to try it). I would love to be able to make some things that are delicious and also something we can share. I think my family and I would benefit from trying more gluten free recipes.
I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I have tried just a handful of recipes. Trying to adjust to the texture of things.
I actually have not made a gluten-free recipe as of yet, but if I win this cookbook, I know that I will try something new!
Why yes, I have, a “nian goa”, a Chinese type of “cake” that was steamed, and made with glutinous flour
8 weeks ago I discovered I have allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy, yeast. I am slowly re-learning to cook gluten/dairy/wheat free. I would love a cookbook to help with ideas.
Well I knew I loved this site. My daughter just tested positive for celiac disease with Down syndrome and juvenile diabetes you can imagine how overwhelmed I feel. It’s been a hard week accepting this. I just hopped on to catch up on your site after being out of town and was pleasantly surprised with the gf recipes. You have no idea how much it helped my broken heart, I feel a little more hope that we can still have a somewhat normal life. Thanks for such a fun website, I need to get my hands on that cookbook-thanks for the tip.

I have celiac disease, and am fairly new at it..8 months and counting. It’s a struggle everyday. I basically modify all my recipes that I have previously cooked that are my favorites. So it’d be really cool to have a cookbook that is dedicated for gluten-free items so I’m not substituting.
Thanks for doing this! Below is a favorite of mine.. I just replace it with GF flour (namaste..you should add this to any recipe you use) and it’s probably the tastiest GF thing out there. I would eat it for dessert in a heartbeat. It’s my sister-in-law’s recipe.

I know you’ve probably closed this- but I couldn’t help but add on. My mother in law has celiac- and this recipe is her substitute for BBQ sauce. Which you can add in everything from meatloaf- to baked beans.
3 C catsup
1 1/4 C brown sugar
3 Tbspn liquid smoke
1/2 Tspn cayan pepper
1 1/2 tspn celery seed
mix together in pan on stove till sugar melts.
Enjoy!!
Every once in a while I like to give my family systems a gluten brake. I feel like I am re-inventing the wheel each time though. A cookbook for such things would be great. I will check out your friends site. Thanks for these interesting options.
I have never made a gluten-free recipe so far. I have recently fallen in love -and mildly obsessed- with looking up new recipes and trying them out. I have eyed a few gluten-free ones, but haven’t gotten around to any of them yet. I would love to try some soon though! Thanks for sharing this salad recipe 🙂
My cousin has celiac’s so when she comes to visit, I try to make things that she can eat. Once, I tried to make brownies with black beans…yuck. Now, I just buy her some gluten-free snacks at the store and make real brownies for the rest of us:)
My sister and her hubby have been doing gluten-free lately because of stomach issues. She makes some amazing banana bread- probably the best I’ve ever had, and there’s no gluten in it! If I win, I think I will definitely be sharing this cookbook with her! Thanks 🙂
My mom is gluten free. She makes yummy tacos with corn tortillas.
My 9 year old son was just diagnosed with celiac disease last month. I feel like I have traveled to a foreign galaxy and entered an alien world as I struggle to get a grip on our new reality before the birth of our sixth child next month. It is so nice to hear from people who are dealing with the same thing. It is even nicer to see so many yummy and healthy recipes reminding me that we can still eat good food. Thanks so much for your help.
I probably have, and didn’t know it. I really just started noticing much about the gluten free thing, when my father in law started eating that way. My mom in law made a gluten free pie for him and it really was good. I would love to give them this cookbook!
I had a co worker who ate gluten free. I made her brownies for a staff luncheon. I just used a pre packaged mix that I found at Whole Foods. They weren’t bad…they weren’t my idea of a great brownie though 🙂
I’ve never tried gluten-free recipes, but I have a few friends that are gluten-free. This cookbook looks amazing and I would love to share it with them!
My mom and sister follow a gluten free diet……and my mom is a vegetartian. It’s such a challenge for her that I’m always looking for recipes that she can try. I’ve made many….cookies, tacos, salads…etc.
We love, absolutely love having the quinoa porridge we came up with, for breakfast. It’s super delicious, easy to make, and it’s gf. One of my girls does better ( no skin rashes) with gf foods. So we are always on the look to make it easier for her body.
One of my YW was on a gluten free diet and I found a recipe for some delicious gluten free strawberry shortcakes. I made them for dessert one night to enjoy after an activity and my YW was thrilled. I was really suprised at how yummy these were (recipe on my blog) and have made them several times since.
I haven’t made a gluten free recipe before but my brother in law has celiac’s and his wife cooks gluten free meals. So this would be great for them.
A friend of mine just found out that she has Celiac disease so now I’m on the hunt for recipes to share with her. This is so awesome that you’re sharing all of these! Thank you!
I made flourless peanut butter cookies – the BEST ever!!
I have a nephew with celiac disease and would love to win this cook book. I always struggle what to make when we have family over for dinner. Thanks!
My 3 year old son has diabetes and celiac disease, and I am always looking for gluten free recipes that are healthy and that a toddler will eat! I can’t wait to check out the cookbook!
We went gluten free in our house for about 6 months while trying to determine some health issues with our son. It definitely required some creativity, but we found lots of delicious new methods of cooking. It was a culinary challenge I’m glad we had. Even now we still opt for a lot of gluten-free things, so I’m always happy to see more recipes. Thanks!
A good friend of mine has Celiac and we eat out and cook together quite often. We have made some really yummy Mexican style meals using corn tortillas or tortilla chips.
About half of my husband’s family is allergic to wheat, so when we all get together, we always cook gluten-free, and surprisingly, it’s really good! We recently made a pasta salad with brown rice noodles and it was filled with tons of grilled veggies. Yummy! The noodles hardly tasted different. They also eat a lot more rice and things like taco salad and fajitas with corn tortillas.
I made one of my friends a flourless chocolate cake for her birthday because her mom has a gluten allergy. Her mom LOVED it and was so grateful that she could finally have cake at a birthday party. It is an extremely dense and chocolatey cake and you don’t even miss the flour! Here is the recipe:
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel Sauce
1 cup butter
8 oz semisweet choc chips
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 large eggs
Pregheat oven to 350. Butter 10-inch springform pan. Line bottom with waxed paper. Stir butter and chocolate in heavey large saucepan over low heat until melted. mix sugar and cocoa in large bowl.Add eggs; whisk until well blended. Whisk in chocolate -butter mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on rack. Run knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Release pan sides. Cover and refrigerate.

Honestly can’t say that I’ve tried making a glutten free recipe…I’ve never really known where to start. But I would love to learn more about them!
I recently made Black Bean Brownies that were gluten free (and vegan too!). Since they had beans I got to eat them without feeling guilty!
Hi, we make gluten-free pancakes all the time and they turn out yummy. We don’t have Celiac’s, but my son is sensitive to wheat/dairy, so making alternatives for his favorites helps out a lot. We’ve also make gluten-free cookies and they turned out just okay. I would love to have a recipe book like that to help me make better gluten free meals for my son. My best girlfriend in our neighborhood has Celiac’s and I would love to make treats for her that I knew would be tasty!
Yes, I’ve made gluten free recipes, and definitely liked them. I know a lot of people with celiac’s disease as well. Great idea to have a gluten-free week, thanks!
I have Celiac disease. I’ve been on a gluten free diet for 10 years now and I’m always looking for great new recipes to try. This week, I made a chicken primavera pie recipe which was absolutely yummy! The best test is whether my two kids- ages 10 and 14- will eat it. This recipe passed the test. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll win the cookbook and find more great recipes to try! Thanks for adding gf recipes to your website. We appreciate it!
I have a sister in law that has Celiac’s. She came over for dinner one night while we were having spaghetti so I cooked up some gluten free noodles for her…I’m thinking they were made with corn. That’s probably the only time I’ve intentionally cooked something gluten free (although I’ve eaten some of her gluten free cooking!)
My boss is gluten free and awhile back I made these gluten-free brownies for her that I found on a blog and they were DELICIOUS! They tasted amazing and had the perfect brownie texture, which was something I was a little hesitant about. To say the least I’ve been making gluten-free brownies ever since!
I have enough friends and family that are gluten-free that this cookbook would most definitely be used in my kitchen!
