Ingredients

4 ears of sweet corn, husked and cleaned
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Roast the Corn: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the husked corn directly on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and tender (about 10-15 minutes).
Prepare the Vegetables: While the corn is roasting, dice the red and yellow bell peppers, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Remove Corn from Grill: Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Combine Ingredients: Add the diced peppers, chopped onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the roasted corn.
Make Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Serve: Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy your roasted sweet corn salad cold or at room temperature.
