Ingredients
- For the Cilantro-Mint Dressing:
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 to 2 tsp clover honey
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- For the salad:
- 9 large ears of corn, husks removed
- Canola oil, for brushing
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 6 scallions, green and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled fresh farmer's cheese or feta cheese
Directions
-
Make the dressing: Combine the mint, cilantro, vinegar, 1 tsp of the honey and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Taste and add more honey, salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
-
Heat a grill to medium high.
-
Brush the corn with some canola oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until lightly charred on all sides and tender, 2-4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then cut the corn kernels from the cobs and place them in a large bowl.
-
Add the scallions to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add some of the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter; top with the cheese, mint and another drizzle of the dressing. Serve immediately.
