Roasted Corn Salad

Corn lovers, rejoice. Summer is finally coming. I’m not excited about the hot muggy weather, but the corn. I’m excited about the corn.

After our binge eating in Texas we wanted to just enjoy some lighter dinners. To me that means salads all week long. But I can get pretty bored with lettuce salads since I eat those for lunch most days also, so for filling but light dinners I turn to vegetable salads and grain salads.

Corn is coming into season and we are finally seeing my favorite vegetable on sale. Tossed with creamy avocado, mozzarella cheese, and grape tomatoes in a cilantro lime vinaigrette I was seriously in heaven eating this.

Hagin had a work dinner and it turns out he wasn’t a huge fan of it when I gave him some for lunch the next day. Usually I get upset when he doesn’t like something I made, but not this time. It meant more for me.

This will be a great salad to serve at summer BBQs or to bring along on picnics.  Maybe just don’t invite your friends who love corn because then you won’t get a huge bowl to yourself.
