Grilled Spicy Corn Salad like this is such a staple of my household. I love, love corn!

It’s one of those salads where you can use whatever you have on hand, including tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos, and coleslaw. It has great versatility!

Grilled Spicy Corn Salad

I mean, I know a lot of people who genuinely love the summertime, but not me. I like cooler mountain temperatures unless I live in Hawaii or somewhere on a European beach.

So let’s check out what we got here; I grilled corn on my Traeger, removed it from the cob, and combined it with juicy cherry tomatoes, avocado, and serrano peppers.

Oh my goodness, it tastes heavenly once you dress it up with tasty honey-lime vinaigrette. I am telling you it is easy-peasy and bursts with flavor.

You can serve this with whatever you want or just scoop it with chips. Certainly, it goes well with grilled meat or fish so it can be called a side dish as well. I love serving it with sandwiches, too.

It also holds well in the fridge for a few days if you pack it in an airtight container. I love glass jars or glass containers such as these on Amazon.

Fruit Salad with Citrus-Maple Dressing

Fruit Salad with Citrus-Maple Dressing

Easy and tasty fruit salad with citrus infused citrus maple dressing recipe.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Blueberry
  • 1 cup Strawberry, sliced
  • 1 cup Grapes, seedless, sliced
  • 1 medium size Pomegranate
  • 1 smaller Pineapple, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Mango pitted and cubed
  • 2 Kiwi, sliced
  • 5-6 Mint leaves
  • Lemon Thyme, optional
  • Citrus-Maple Dressing:
  • Juice from 1 Ripe Lime + zest
  • Juice from 1/2 Lemon + zest
  • 1/8-1/4 cup Maple Syrup (or honey)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep all the fruit. You may keep everything in the fridge to keep the fruit cold. It will be easier to slice and it tastes better.
  2. Mix everything for the dressing in the glass jar.
  3. Once all the fruit is tossed together drizzle dressing a bit at the time and toss to coat.
  4. Store in the airtight container, large glass jar or glass bowl, then place the container in the fridge.
  5. I keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

You may use any any fruit that you prefer and more or less. I just added how much we added to our fruit salad but you can add more fruit especially if you omit. So, if you do not add Pomegranate please ad more grapes or strawberries or blueberries.

For the best taste keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

I used Sugar Free Maple syrup to support my diet, you may use any that you prefer.
