Grilled Corn Salad

Sometimes I get tired of eating a normal salad. You know the typical lettuce, tomato, cucumber and dressing salad. I have learned that salad doesn't have to be boring because there are a variety of ways that you can make a salad that are not typical. I would say that this is a salad because it has vegetables and dressing in it, but it is definitely not boring. I will add this to my regular summer salad menu.

For the salad:
4 ears fresh corn on the cob
1 jar roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained
2 avocado, pitted and diced
2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped

Strip the corn of its husk and soak in the sink with water which will help to remove the cornsilk. Rinse and dry. Place on the grill and cook just until the corn starts to brown, then remove and cool. Meanwhile, chop the red peppers, avocado and cilantro. Remove the cooled corn from the cob and mix with the other veggies. Pour the dressing on top and mix well.

For the dressing:
1 lime, juiced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey

Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
