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.

Ooo, I am so excited for this giveaway! My sister-in-law is gluten free and I often try new recipes that she can enjoy during our family dinners. My most recent success is your sweet and sour chicken. I love that you use cornstarch instead of flour.
my son and I have just started eating gluten-free for the past 2 months… the change in me is amazing… no more headaches! …my son is still struggling with what to eat… all of his usual stand-bys are not available anymore… as for recipes… been eating lots of rice and beans 🙂
My BIL has celiac, so I have tried quite a few gluten and dairy free recipes– sandwich bread, cinnamon rolls, breadsticks, banana bread. I would love the cookbook!
I tried to make a sponge cake with rice flour for a friend who has an intolerance to gluten and it’s quite well! Thanks for the chance!
My husband has a bunch of dietary limits beyond gluten. He doesn’t handle soy, or cheese very well, among other foods. That’s why I’m glad I found out about vegan rice cheese – no gluten, no soy, no “real” cheese!
I have been eating gluten free now for four years. I developed a rocking recipe for lasagna. Not only do I use gluten free noodles but due to a cow milk allergy I make my own goats milk ricotta. Yum
What could be better than my favorite recipe blog posting gluten-free recipes AND giving away a book I’ve got on my wishlist! I’ve loved your blog for years and just last month found out I have celiac disease. I’m slowly adapting my recipes to be gluten-free. Your sweet & sour chicken recipe is my favorite, and by just using a gluten-free ketchup and soy sauce it is easily made gluten-free.
This past week I’ve been experimenting with gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
I’m starting a new blog with my gluten-free recipes, hopefully starting to post soon.
Ooh what a great corn salad recipe. The grilled corn sounds so good. 🙂 I’ve never really tried cooking gluten free food but I’ve been hearing a lot about it lately. Sounds like a great book!
I’d love a copy of that cookbook… I need to cook gluten-free for my son. Thanks – Looking forward to your recipes this week.
My daughter is gluten sensitive, so I have been making more. It’s a little hard to get used to (a lot of gluten free bread products have a sweetness I don’t care for personally) but some recipes have been super yummy!
I was diagnosed with Celiac in February. I have been on an almost constant quest for any gluten free meal that I can eat with my family. Sometimes I am successful, others not so much. I have learned I have to go back to cooking from scratch (not always an easy feat with my lifestyle). A friend sent me to your site. Thanks for sharing more options for me to try with my family!
We just recently found out that my 4 yr old son has celiac disease. A friend of mine told me about your special gluten free week and cookbook giveaway. We are looking for some yummy recipes for our family as we begin this change in our diet. Thanks for having a gluten free week!! Looking forward to trying out these recipes.
No, I haven’t ever consiously made a gluten-free recipe, but I have family members that are gluten intolerant….
I’ve never tried one…but I’d like to!
My husband and I are both gluten intolerant. I love to bake so it was a little depressing to discover. I bake gluten free fairly frequently. My most recent discovery is gluten free bread. I forgot how much I loved a peanut butter and jelly sanwhich!
Haven’t made anything gf yet but we are just starting this journey with my granddaughter. We are looking for easy school lunches for her and searching the internet on all and anything gf.
My sister recently got me hooked on your blog a few weeks ago. You have super yummy recipes. I was surprised and happy to see that today you have made reference to gluten-free cooking. My husband is gluten intolerant. So I am constantly searching for and making gluten free recipes all of the time. One of our family’s favorite gluten free recipes is a sugar cookie recipe that is “better than gluten-full sugar cookies” according to everyone who tries them. Now I have even more of a reason to follow your blog knowing that I can have access to some yummy gluten-free recipes. Thanks!
I have been gluten free for over two years now and have actually learned to LOVE baking gluten free! I have a FANTASTIC bread recipie that includes a cup of almond meal (just grind almonds in a coffee grinder) that turns out great every time.
Also, I love the new Betty Crocker gluten free mixes. I actually just made the chocolate brownies and added a cup of zuchini and a cup of chocolate chips to it to immitate a chocolate zuchini cake my mom used to make. Yum!
I haven’t made a recipe, but would love to! My best friend’s son was recently diagnosed w/ several allergies and gluten bieng one so I would love to give the book to her.
Thanks!
i cook gluten free every day and am always looking for new and different recipes. The red berry risotto oatmeal looks delicious.
I’ve never made anything gluten free (on purpose), but I would love to learn. I have two neighbors that have Celiac’s, and it’s tricky when we have them over for dinner.
I love to make gluten free peanut butter cookies made w/ peanut butter, an egg and sugar or splenda. I also make gluten free coconut macaroons w/ coconut, sweetened condensed milk and egg whites.
YAY! I make gluten-free recipes every day because I have Celiac Disease. I’m still adjusting to the baking but, the cooking is really easy. I just stick to fruits, veggies, rice, potatoes- you have to watch out for some of the spices, though. Those sometimes contain gluten. There’s more to eat than people think! I am really looking forward to your recipes this week. I actually made your coconut oatmeal chewies for my family and they LOVED them. I know they are not gluten-free but, they raved so much about them, I’m going to try to adapt it so I can try them, too! Thanks again.
Everything I make is gluten-free. My husband is a Celiac with a rice intolerance and I have a gluten and soy intolerance. My favorite thing to make are gluten-free cookies or cakes. On the list today are coconut-lime sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies.
We have multiple members of my extended family that have Celiac Disease. We are always trying new recipes to feed them when we get together. Two of my favorites are Brownies made with black beans (seriously, it really is good) and Coconut Pistachio pie (the crust is made with the coconut). I was able to attend a cooking class by Chris, and fell in love with her cookbook. I couldn’t believe how great her donuts, waffles and cinnamon rolls tasted. And they weren’t grainy like some of the other mixes are. Thanks to both of you for helping us cook for our GF families.
I haven’t really made anything just because it’s gluten free, but I have had good intentions of baking with coconut flour (it smells delish) and there’s a recipe for sugar cookies using that instead of all purpose flour. I can’t wait to try them and bought the flour awhile ago.
So happy to see gluten free recipes! I have made brownies and followed my old recipe, but used rice flour instead of wheat flour, and nobody could tell the difference!
I would love this cookbook! I have been looking into cooking and eating gluten free for awhile now but just don’t know where to begin!
I am sure I have made a gluten-free meal…but I probably did it without trying! But in an effort to eat healthy I am looking for more recipes 🙂
I have never tried to make a gluten-free meal, but I have a friend whose 2 year old must have a gluten-free diet, and I would love to give this cookbook to her. I know it’s hard for her to make food that he can, and wants to eat.
I make gluten free meals everyday because I am gluten and dairy intolerant… so I would DEFINITELY use and love such a cookbook!
I’ve made several gluten free recipes. They have all turned out looking and tasting great! I don’t have a specific need to cook gluten free but I find that I prefer the way some things taste when made that way. 🙂
My friend, who is constantly surfing for great recipes, sent me the link to your site. I have found that eating gluten free has relieved my discomfort from Crohns so welcome any new recipes. I accidently invented my new favorite recipe last week. With a bounty of zuchini from our garden, I was craving our tried and true casserole. I substituted chedder flavored rice crackers for the saltines in the recipe and WOW! I think it tasted better than the old version. Thanks for “Gluten Free Week”, I’ll be bookmarking this site!!
I found out that I had sprue (a type of celiacs disease) 25 years ago after the birth of my 3rd child. They had NO good recipes then and nothing you could buy at the store. With the rage of the Adkins diet, followed by many more, you can buy gluten free products everywhere. I learned to eat spaghetti sauce on rice or baked potatoes. With 7 kids eventually, it was easier to go without then to make special for me. Bring on those gluten free recipes, I’m ready to treat myself.
I have never intentionally made a gluten-free meal but would love to learn and try some great recipes!
My grandma has to eat gluten free and I’m always looking for new recipes. It’s great that there is such an awareness out there these days. Thank you for adding to my (at present small) collection of gluten free recipes! And by the way, I absolutely love all of your recipes. This site is the first place I go when I want to try something new or for many that I now consider favorites!
I have never made gluten free but have been interested in it a lot!!
My favorite “gluten-free” recipe has to be flowerless chocolate, walnut cookies…SO GOOD!
My friend Sara (a self-proclaimed “stalker” of your site!) pointed me your way today – and I’m soooooo glad she did! I’m gluten intolerant (sigh), and so I’ve cooked many a gluten free failures, er, I mean dinners + desserts, etc. Unfortunately, I’m the worst cook ever. EVER. But I try really, really (really) hard. I just can’t seem to get it right.
My favorite gluten free recipe is a peanut butter cookie recipe! So simple, and my husbands most favorite cookies in the world!
I have been gluten free & dairy free for about 6 weeks now. I am a wanna be chef and LOVE to cook. The first few weeks I found myself salivating over my little boy’s peanut butter sandwich and practically drooling on the bakery glass at the grocery store! I must admit, however, that it has gotten easier because I feel better. I have become a much more creative cook and have re-created absolutely delicious recipes to prepare for my family and friends…the best part is that they can’t tell the difference and for that matter, neither can I! My motto now is: Don’t look back!
I love this! There isn’t enough gluten-free recipes or food out and I’m constantly searching for them! Thank you!!!!
I never have made a gluten-free meal.. but I’m excited to try 🙂
I actually started going gluten, dairy, and sugar (refined sugar) free a while ago to cut down on the inflammation I have to help control my chronic pain condition. I have found many wonderful gluten free recipes and learning how to tweak recipes of favorites to be gluten free has made this change a lot easier. For the most part, I have been able to make food that is so tasty that no one would know the difference (I sure don’t)! Plus I love using spices, so this helps a lot in cooking gluten free.
So excited to see this week’s recipes and to look at the recipes in your new category! I haven’t ever made a gluten-free meal (at least not intentionally or that I’ve realized) so I’m excited to try some.
I suffer from celiac’s disease and in addition to my gluten allergy I also have and allergy of casein which is protein in dairy. I am so excited to see the recipes you will showcase this week. Thank you for thinking of us!!
Through trial and error, I am realizing that gluten free may be the way I should go…..
I’m so glad you are doing a week of gluten free cooking! My mom has Celiac disease, so I have definitely done some gluten free cooking. What I have found most surprising over the past few years since she was diagnosed is that there is a multitude of regular food we eat that is gluten free just by its nature. I don’t mind gluten free cooking, but I really hope I don’t end up needing it; I love bread and pasta too much!
This sounds wonderful – can’t wait to try it!
I have made lots of gluten-free food – 10 members of husbands family have Celiac and a good friend. My favorite recipe is “flourless chocolate torte” – YUM!
I am so very happy to see you adding these recipe to your site. I recently discovered I have a gluten allergy (in addition to my lactose intolerance!) so I’ve been trying lots of new recipes. I’ve always struggled to get enough vegetables in the day so have learned to love my Crock Pot because it’s so easy to make soups and stews with lots of veggies, lean meat and no wheat or noodles. One of my favorites is a Peanut Butter Chicken Vegetable Soup – sounds strange but it’s so delicious that I don’t even miss the crackers!
