It’s fresh, it’s spicy, and it’ll keep ’em coming back for more.
ROASTED CORN SALAD
Ingredients:
3 ounces cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 ears bicolor corn, shucked off cob
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup black beans, drained
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
1 ripe tomato, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
Combine the cider vinegar, water, olive oil, sugar, sea salt, and white pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool at room temperature. In an iron skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Drop the corn kernels into the skillet; stir to coat. Every few minutes, turn corn with a spatula. As the kernels begin to char, continue turning until corn is tender, about 6-7 minutes. It may be necessary to reduce heat. Place black beans in a large covered bowl. Transfer roasted corn to same bowl. Sprinkle with garlic powder, cumin powder, and Cajun seasoning. Add chopped jalapeño pepper, tomato, green pepper, celery, red onion, and cooled marinade. Mix thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight. Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro.

I love to make a big corn salad like this, Gail, and keep it in the fridge for several days. Of course, this assumes it would last that long!
