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 son was born with a wheat allergy so we were gluten free for 2 1/2 years before he was able to tolerate it. We have tried lots of gluten free recipes, some which were terrible, but some were quite good.
I think it’s great you’re doing the gluten free week. I am going to have to send my sisters the link to your blog!! I already love reading you’re blog, but this is great! Both my sisters have gluten allergies so we use a lot of gluten free in our house. We’ve made spelt stuffing for thanksgiving…..it is outstanding!! Would love to have the cookbook to expand my repertoire 🙂 thank you!!!!
My son is dating a girl who has celiac disease so we have tried a few basic things but I would love to try new recipes so we can cook for her and, hopefully, impress her. I hope the people who have posted ideas will share their recipes with you so you can pass them along to us (like the brownie recipe.) I am glad the lady posted her bread recipe, thanks. Thanks, Mel, for all your recipes.
I’d love to give this book to a friend with a child who is newly gluten free!
My father-in-law was diagnosed with Celiac about 7 years ago. He doesn’t mind so much (especially since he feels SO much better now), but my mother-in-law really struggles with trying to find yummy, healthy gluten-free meals that the whole family can love (my husband is the oldest of 7 kids, 4 of which still live at home) Every time I make something that is delicious which also happens to be gluten-free, I always send it over to them. I can only imagine the field day she would have with a cookbook like this!!
I believe I have made a recipe or two. Not many but would love to try out more.
This yummy corn salad is my first gluten free recipe (that I was aware of). It was great.
I’ve never tried anything gluten free however, I have a friend whose son has just been diagnosed with Celiac’s. In searching for recipes for her, the ones that I’ve found sound delicious. I would love to get this new cookbook and share it with her !!
I have not purposefully made gluten free food, although tonight I opened your page specifically to get gluten free recipes and look what I found! I have two friends who recently found out they need to eat gluten free. One of them has been telling me for weeks how much better she feels overall. She always comments on how much healthier and more natural she eats now. I have been trying to get myself and my husband onto a better eating track and had just this week decided that once the gluten is out of our house (we can’t just toss it all!) I’m going to really try to buy gluten free. I had a yummy dinner of cold rice, left over chicken and veggies the other night at this gluten free friend’s house. It was so good and just the kick I needed to get my butt in gear!! I love the idea of eating a lot less processed foods… we’ll see how it goes!
This is my first comment on your site Mel… you don’t know what you’ve started! I LOVE your recipes and give out your website daily! Thanks 🙂
Hi Mel, If you are interested I have a brown rice waffle recipe – that will knock your socks. Light and lovely. MMMMM. Tammy
Thank you for posting the Gluten Free recipes and for adding the new catagory! I was recently taken off Gluten by my doctor and had already had to eliminate Dairy because of allergies so it has been very difficult for me to come up with anything to eat. I feel like I am stuck with very few choices and can’t wait to give some of your recipes a try. The one thing that I miss the most is Bread. I have tried a couple of different recipes with my bread machine but I haven’t had much luck. Thank you again for your recipes and for giving me some choices!
Mel, my mother-in-law has Celiacs and even though he denys it and doesn’t want to get tested, I have a feeling Aaron might too. I’ve been trying really hard to cut out a lot of that kind of stuff out of our diet, but haven’t gone cold turkey yet! I’d love a copy of the cookbook for Cindy! Hmmm, maybe a great Christmas present idea! She always tells me not to worry about cooking specifically for her when she comes, but how can I not. Last time she came we had shish kabobs and potatoes one night (Aaron’s favorite) and then we did the Southwest Crockpot chicken dinner. She loves that cause she just eats it over corn chips. Thanks again for all your wonderful recipes!
I have cook gluten free once. I was making treats for a group activity and made mini pumpkin pies. Sadly, the did not turn out very well. The mix I used had a little too much salt and in my haste, I forgot to put the sugar in the pumpkin. My friend aprciated my efforts though.
My hubby is gluten intolerant so we make gluten free foods regularly. I especially like the gluten free corn bread that we developed using almond meal with corn meal. I would love more ideas on how to prepare things for him that are homemade. The store bought gluten free items are so over priced!
My 18 month old eats totally gluten and dairy free…we are excited for your gluten free week. I bake a lot gluten free and my baby seems to love it all, it’s just finding the right recipe!
oops forgot to say… Yes! I have to cook & eat gluten free because I’m gluten intolerant. Basically we can eat any meat, veggies & rice.. It’s what you add to them that makes a difference. Would absolutely Love to win the cookbook!
Thanks so much! ~ Teresa
Yay!!! Thanks so much! Very much appreciated! You always have such fabulous recipes!
Big Hugs ~ Teresa
One of my best friend’s husband and son have celiacs disease… so need to find wheat free meals whenever we’re getting together with them. I tend to go ethnic…mexican, indian, asian. Things that are gluten free without much in the way of modification.
This book looks like an awesome resource!
Have never tried any gluten free recipes. Looking forward to trying this.
So excited about the gluten free week!! My mother and a good set of friends are gluten intolerant, so I have been enjoying passing along already a couple of your recipes that we have loved that by nature of the ingredients ARE already gluten free! You rock, lovely lady. I’m looking forward to this week.
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 4 years ago. I’ve been experimenting every since! My favorite gluten free recipe is a brownie recipe with marshmallows and chocolate frosting! Yum! It’s delicious! My husband even took some to work and his coworkers devoured it! I love to cook and would love to try the recipes in the Irresistibly Gluten Free cookbook!
I’ve never tried a gluten free recipe, but this one looks great! I would love to try more too.
I have been debating trying out a Gluten free diet to improve my health… this would be a great catalyst for me!
I’ve never made a gluten free recipe but I’m willing to try anything! I might make it a bullet on my to-do list this week!
I’ve only had gluten free food when my mother in law visits. She is allergic to wheat so she eats gluten free products. I’d love to win this book for her.
My niece was gluten/casein-free for a season. It was quite a jolt to start thinking that way. I had to rethink our eating when she was with us. I would like to incorporate more GF foods into our rotation.
My DOG is GFCF. 🙂 Really. But I don’t cook for her too much.
One of my friends has celiacs and I made your coconut chicken curry for her. Who knew gluten free could be so yummy?!
We don’t cook gluten-free but I have been meaning to try some recipes that are. I would LOVE this new cookbook so that we would have a resource to go to. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.
Going gluten free as much as possible just for better health!
Would love to try this cookbook and learn to cook gluten free!!
I haven’t tried anything glueten free. I have friends who are considering going that route. Looking forward to trying this corn..looks fantastic.
I am a new gluten free household and struggling with how to cook without gluten. I would love some help before my family goes on a food strike.
I haven’t cooked gluten free but, I’d like to since I have some friends who can’t eat it.
bread with rice flour…. I’d LOVE to get some amazing recipes that are gluten free!
I’ve been recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and would love to have a cookbook to make items rather than buying them. I have tried making cookies with little success. Thanks for offering gluten free recipes all this week!
I just recently found out I had celiacs. My grandpa has it as well and he told me that there was nothing to eat! At first this comment scared me. But now I laugh at it. I know that there is a lot of food out there if you have celiacs, it’s just most of it you need to make yourself. So now I am saying goodbye to fast convient food and hello to my kitchen. I am actually really excited about this new adventure. My husband and I have been trying to be healthier and eat out less and this will really help us.
My favorite recipie I have tried so far is White Rice Bread. It tastes like a sweet corn bread. Corn bread is my favorite so I love this bread. A great summer treat or lunch is a slice of this bread with Miracle Whip (miracle whip is gluten free but maynoase is not) and a few slices of fresh tomatoes on top. This trully is delicious! It tastes way better than anything found in a store and it’s really fast.
The recipie for white rice bread is:
2 eggs
1 cup of liquid ( water, milk, juice)
4 tbsp. sugar
4 tbsp. canola oil
2 cup Bob’s Red Mill White Rice Flour
4 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. salt
Preheat the oven at 425. Lightly greas bread pan. Mix all of the ingredients in bowl. Pour mixed ingredients into the bread pan. Place in oven and cook for 20 – 25 min. Let cool.
This recipie is fast and easy. The bread is a little crumbly but it tastes great!
I do not cook gluten free, but have a couple friends who have children that require gluten free choices. I am excited to pass this one along to them!
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 3 years ago. I’ve been cooking gluten free ever since. I’m a foodie, so I’ve taught myself how to convert almost all of my favorite recipes into a gluten free version. I’m so excited to see the new gluten free section here. THANK YOU!!!!
I have cooked GF on many occassions! Both my husband and I have extended family who require GF, and I have gotten some pretty good results with the recipes I have made and/or switched up! My favorite to date, is my GF “funeral” potatoes, in fact my husband prefers them to the regular kind! I would love to have a cookbook that is GF!
I’ve not tried it yet, but it’s becoming quite popular on food blogs. I think that it’s something that can help my family & I’m all for that.
I’m sure I’ve made recipes that are gluten free, but not on purpose! I’d love to start though because I’ve noticed more and more people all the time are finding out that they have celiac disease. Two of my neighbors do, and I never offer to take dinner to them because I am scared to cook gluten free. So a cookbook would be an awesome help!
My niece has celiac’s disease, so I have made her peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that were gluten-free. They were pretty yummy, although a bit heavy (the majority of the batter was peanut butter).
I tried to make some gluten free dough for pigs in a blanket once… I really did not know hardly anything about making something gluten free and I had no idea at the time what xanthan gum was or why in needed to be in the recipe. Sadly all of this amounted to a huge failure with the dough.
I’ve never cooked gluten free on purpose, but am definitely becoming more and more interested in it. Plus a friend of mine is heading down that path with one of her children so I know i’ll be doing it more and more.
I would love this cookbook for me or most likely I’d give it to her as a gift. Thanks! can’t wait to try the corn!
My gluten-free (and dairy-free!) friend came to visit a few weeks ago, and it completely opened my eyes to this daily difficulty. My favorite recipe we made that week was BBQ pulled pork sandwiches…but we cheated because she had a gluten-free bun and we had regular ones. I am so glad you are doing this, and I am going to pass along your website to her!
I have made my famous carrot cake with rice flour instead of regular for a friend whose husband and son both have celiac and it got rave reviews. Another friend was just diagnosed as well…….I would LOVE to get my hands on this cookbook. Thanks for a great recipe and great giveaway!!
I make a lot of Indian food and Thai food, which most is actually gluten free without modification (if you exclude the yummy Naan and other breads). I would love to win the cook book so I can give it to my sis-in-law who has Celiac’s and I’d love to have great recipes for when I need to entertain gluten-free. Thanks for the corn recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
My brother has a particularly strong case of Celiac and so I was always trying to make him something nice to eat growing up. He was allergic to so many things he ate mostly hamburger carrots and potatoes. Kind of boring if you ask me. One of his favorite desserts was made by Chili’s restaurant, but it unfortunately contained flour. I attempted to remake it at home with not the greatest success. The only real success I ever had was making him a devil’s food cake recipe from scratch. Probably luck but it ended up really moist and tasty. Now it seems my daughter might have a gluten intolerance and I would love to find some great recipes so she can still enjoy a variety of foods.
I have not tried anything gluten free as yet, but I’ve noticed my favorite baking blogs are posting lots of gluten-free recipes. As soon as I get the house back to just myself and my husband I’m going to try some of them. But your grilled corn salad is on the menu for tonite – we love corn too!

We typically cook gluten free in our household, because I have gluten intolerance. I just love the recipes you post, and some of them I’ve adapted so that I can eat them too! Thanks for sharing and it’s so great that you’ve started a new GF section.
