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.

My mother in law has Celiac’s disease as well, but that hasn’t stopped her from being an amazing cook! When my husband and I were dating we’d try out new recipes and then share them with his parents, or turn old favorites into gluten-free goodies. We had a blast with that! And along the way my mother in law has shared some of her gluten-free tricks with me. She’s become the expert in our area and can eat just like the rest of us. She’s showed me how to make gluten free cakes, banana bread, and peanut butter cookies that are to die for, along with a lot of others. Watching her overcome that struggle, and learning how to accommodate my cooking has been one of the most fun things I’ve done!
My children’s best friends are all sensitive to gluten, and my sister’s husband has Celiac, so our family is constantly looking for things we can all eat when we’re together. So, I’d LOVE a new cookbook with some fresh ideas! And thanks for adding the gluten-free category in your recipe index!
I don’t cook gluten free but my sister has celiacs and so when she comes around we mostly just try to avoid gluten. I would love to get some tried and true recipes that are gluten free and start adding them to our meals. I trust all of the recipes on your site and just love “My Kitchen Cafe.”
As an avid baker of all things floury and rich, I was worried when I acquired a roommate with Celiac Disease. We’ve been playing with lots of recipes for gluten-free desserts. I think I’ve mastered the gluten-free brownies but my try at a gluten-free peach pie left us unsatisfied. (Gluten-free pie crust that flakes up and tastes rich and buttery? Anyone?)
I’m still a beginner at gluten-free baking but I’m learning.
I make gluten free peanut butter cookies. They are totally flourless, super moist, and perfectly bite size. Love them! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
Yes, I had a neighbor who need gluten-free food, so I made pork posole for her and her family. Very yummy!
This cookbook would be a life saver. One of the ladies I visit teach is having a baby in a few months. I plan on taking her over a few meals. She has celiac, so I have been a bit nervous about what to prepare for the new mommy. Since she already has 2 toddler boys, I know a meal would be a big help upon the arrival of baby 3. Plus, I could gift her the cookbook with the meal. 🙂
Our RS has served a few gluten free meals in order ensure all of us can partake. We had a chicken enchilada dish that was really good.
I don’t typically cook gluten-free, but a new friend of ours is from a gluten-free famiy, so I need all the new recipes I can get!
A friend of mine has a son who can’t hair gluten or dairy so when I brought her a birthday cake, I made a special cake for him that was really delicious, if I do say so myself–a chocolate wacky cake with coconut filling and coconut ganache spread over the top to mimic the flavors of a mounds candy bar. I have the recipe here (http://reciperhapsody.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/vegan-gluten-free-mounds-cake/), but the photo is terrible. I need to make it again to take a better pic! If I won this book I’d give it to my friend.
I have a good friend that went years undiagnosed with celiacs, and was very ill. She has done a lot of research on gluten free foods. We had dinner with her and her husband one night and it was delicious! We have since found out that my husband’s co-worker is also gluten intolerant along with being diabetic. I am now trying gluten free just so we can see how we feel. I think there are more people out there with some kind of gluten intolerance than we know. Thanks for your recipes! I will let my friends know about your website.
My niece was recently diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease and wow I think having a cookbook would be wonderful as they come over every Wednesday for dinner.
I have made a few things but they are basic just no flour recipes…like pork chops and rice.
My mother is gluten intolerant so I have made several gluten free recipes including cakes – some recipes have turned out great, while others have been down right awful! I am always on the look out from good recipes to share with my mom.
I found out a few of my friends (one of them I had to take dinner to)were on a gluten free diet so I went through my recipes and I made green chicken enchiladas and no bake cookies. Since then, I have been looking at labels and taking note of gluten-free products and recipes. I’m excited to see all of your recipes this week. I’m sure they will be amazing.
My sister’s roommate is allergic to gluten, so we have tried many recipes for her! I like to send them treats during finals week, so I just go easy and send them Puppy Chow made with Chex! Lol So I need some more ideas to treat them with!
Yes I have. I try to stay away from gluten and stick to other things. BUT I don’t stress about it. My mother-in-law and her sister have Celiac’s Disease, so they really watch their diet. Love your recipes! Thanks for posting them!!!!
Blessings
I have been tested for Crohn’s disease and during the past year have been changing my diet over to a gluten free diet. It is a challenge to find tasty good food. Thanks for devoting a week to gluten free recipes. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cook gluten free on occasion, but not necessarily intentionally. It is a healthy way to eat, though!
I’ve made a few recipes. At church there was someone with allergies so for Valentine’s Day he received fudge instead of cookies like everyone else. He liked them.
I would love to try a few recipes that are gluten free, just because it is so healthy. Plus I have a SIL and her family is on a gluten free diet and I would love to be able to share some recipes with her.
my favorite gluten free recipe is easy chicken cordon bleu – chicken breasts split in half and stuffed with slices of ham and swiss cheese, then dipped in egg and sprinkled with italian seasoning. so yummy!
I have never cooked gluten-free but i have a lot of family who is gluten free so I would love to learn some things to make when they come over.
Just diagnosed with celiac, I’m cooking/baking gluten-free completely now. Lots to learn.
I have not made any gluten free recipes on purpose. My two daughters have whey allergies so I have made my fair share of whey-free recipes. I am up for cooking anything!
I had never thought about it, but Vietnamese Egg Rolls (Cha Gio) are gluten free. And so is Vietnamese Beef Soup (Pho.)
A friend of mine eats gluten free stuff due to her husband being celiac. She changed her whole diet but says it’s the best she’s ever felt. I have wanted to try gluten free stuff for my family and I to be more healthy but haven’t searched for recipes. I would love to have an entire cookbook on it!
I have never made anything gluten-free, but I would love to try!
I actually have never made one, but would love to try one someday:)
My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac and I now cook all of our meals gluten free. It has been challenging at times, but I feel like there are so many great gluten-free products available now. I don’t actually have a gluten-free cookbook yet. I’ve been wanting to buy one, haven’t been sure which one to buy!
What a great idea for a cookbook! Several of the children that I work with have to be on a gluten-free diet and I’m sure a cookbook like this would be a blessing to their parents!
I don’t grill out of doors. I wonder if I could do this on my stovetop grillpan?
I have never purposely made a gluten-free recipe. I know I have some. I would like to try some though. I have thyroid problems and have been told to stay away gluten.
I’ve never made a gluten-free recipe on purpose but it seems like there are lots of recipes that are gluten-free or could be turned into it. This looks really yummy!
This looks super yummy! I have family members that have to be on gluten free diets, they feel so much better since they started them! I have never made anything gluten free, but am going to start, with this salad!
I made a vegetarian quinoa paella a few weeks ago with saffron and it turned out great! Very flavorful and full of protein. 🙂
I just made a corn salad for the first time yesterday. I wish I had grilled my corn though – I boiled it and slightly overcooked it…not a good idea with corn. the salad was good though 🙂
I have made meringues for a friend with Celiac. I would like to make more than that, of course!
Everything I make is gluten free – I am a Celiac, diagnosed 4 years ago! You really can eat wonderfully on a gluten-free diet.
As far as I know, I’ve never made a gluten-free dish – not on purpose, for sure! But this recipe looks like it’s delicious, so why not?
I have a friend who recently began eating a gluten-free diet. I will definitely send her the link!
Just recently I made a flourless chocolate cake that turned out well. I think I got the recipe at allrecipes.com. The grilled corn salad looks good and I happen to have several ears of corn in the fridge!
I think this is a great feature to add to your site. With my job, we cater to a lot of people who require a gluten-free diet, so I have made pizzas, sandwiches, etc that fit into the gluten-free category.
I do gluten-free at my house!! My 7 year old son needs a gluten/casein free diet and so his favorite gluten free meal is taco salad or tostadas with lots of guacamole on top. That’s his favorite! But I would l-o-v-e to broaden my horizons and cook from a cookbook written by someone who knows their gluten-free recipes!! It would be heavenly for me but also for my boy….because heaven knows I need help!
I have been diagnosed with Celiac since I was 2, so I have made my fair share of gluten-free recipes. One of my favorite lunches is to make sandwiches using ricecakes instead of bread…I just melt cheese on them to help them hold together better. I would love to win this book and use it to help me become better at gluten-free baking, something I try to avoid.
I’ve made multiple gluten free recipes, some by accident, some on purpose. I actually think they’ve all been great!
I love grilled corn salad! It is my favorite side dish for parties and BBQ’s in the summer! We eat lots of vegetables, so I guess I make quite a few gluten free recipes. I have never tried baking gluten free, though. I would try it if the recipes were “tried and true”. I clicked on the link…your friend’s cookbook looks great! Thanks, Melanie!
I have never made anything gluten free. I have a few friends who are on gluten free diets for a variety of reasons. This cookbook would be great for me to use when they come visit.
I don’t seek out recipes that are gluten free unless I’m taking something to my friends house for dinner, then I realize I don’t have many of the ingredients (for desserts mostly). I’d love to learn some new recipes! Thanks mel!
I have made a few things gulten free. Although we do not eat gluten free my best friend has celiac’s and I’ve made some GF treats for when she visits.
I have never done anything gluten free on purpose…I probably do some. It is something I am interested in though and would love some help along the way. Thanks for your fantastic site!
My son has autism and we have been told to try eliminating gluten and dairy from his diet to help with his behaviour. A good friend of mine is coeliac and she has given me a few recipes to try but so far I am just muddling through! The same friend did make me a lemon loaf baked with spelt flour and it was delicious, very moist and extremely filling.
We have started eating gluten-free in our house recently. Not because any of us have to. But more as a health thing. I was nervous at first. But the few things we have made have ended up tasting really good. I look gorward to making more gluten-free recipies
