Grill

We have corn in some form or other almost every day of the corn season. Quinoa salads are another summer staple - it's great to add whatever is available at the greenmarket. Combining grilled corn to a quinoa salad adds body, crunch and another great layer of flavor to a dish that is simple to prepare but loaded with great tastes. Fresh mint adds a bright and refreshing flavor. I prepare this salad the day after we have grilled corn on the cob, making sure we prepare extra ears for this or other recipes. But please note that fresh corn off the cob also works very well, as long as the corn is sweet and fresh. So if you choose, try fresh corn as well. You can also buy frozen charred corn or canned corn at Trader Joe's and use either of those as winter replacements.
