2013Charred Corn, Bacon and Berry Summer Salad
You know how hot it is in the summer and you don’t feel like heating the oven? I’ve got just the solution for you.
One of my newest favorite salads is this little beauty I call Charred Corn, Bacon and Berry Summer Salad. It’s so simple to prepare and full of so many of my favorite ingredients.
Here’s a shot of the ingredients I used for my salad.
For the charred corn, I placed my ears of corn right on the grill brushed with just a little olive oil. I used my indoor stovetop grill.
If you haven’t had charred corn before, you are in for a treat. It has the best smoky flavor….and paired with bacon, yum!
Berries are always a good idea for salad.
I happen to love arugula leaves for my salads, but if you prefer a different green, by all means switch it out. Same goes for the feta cheese.
I like to prepare my dressing in a mason jar. Start with olive oil and balsamic.
A little honey, brown mustard, salt and pepper.
Close lid…..
…and shake, shake, shake!
I just love everything about this salad, you’ll love it!

I love the flavors in this and that charred corn!! Brings out the flavors of everything else in this salad so well!
Charred corn is the best!
I notice you use this “spicy brown mustard” in recipes. I have looked everywhere for this but cannot find it. I live in Ontario, Canada so have different grocery stores than you but maybe if you have a better description of it I could match it with something I can find.
Thank you

[…] RECIPE: Charred Corn, Bacon and Berry Summer Salad […]
Just made this last weekend for a potluck bbq we headed to. I printed it off and took to the grocery store to pick up the few items I needed, made it (HUGE hit – it was delicious) and then just now when I got online to share how much we loved it realized that my recipe I printed out didn’t have bacon in it. That would have been a fabulous addition – the saltiness of the bacon would have combined nicely with the sweet of the fruit and tank of the arugula & zip of the mustard in the dressing. Can’t wait to make again but put bacon in it. Would this just be layered with everything else?
