 It's Corn Season!  If you drive through the valley you will see many yellow barns selling corn.
Here's an incredible, easy, zesty corn salad with a hickory smoked flavor.  Seeing we live in the land of Chilliwack Corn, it's only suitable that I share another fine vegetable dish chock-full of fresh vegetables from my garden. We are thrilled to grow corn on our acreage.

Kernel Corn Salad
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups whole kernel corn ( 1 cob corn equals approximately 1 cup corn)
  • 1/2 cup minced red onions
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 clove minced garlic

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add corn.  You can also substitute canned or frozen corn.
  3. Cook and stir until corn just begins to char, up to 8 minutes.  Don't burn it.
  4. Or you can grill your corn on the BBQ slowly. 
  5. Add onions, jalapeno, peppers, garlic, cumin and chile powder.
  6. Cook and stir 1 more minute.
  7. Remove from heat and transfer corn into large mixing bowl.
  8. Add remaining ingredients.
  9. Add fresh cilantro just before serving.
  10. Cover well and refrigerate over night prior to serving.

This is my favorite corn recipe which I use when I am preserving corn for the winter.
Punch the words, 'corn' into the Google search and you will find many wonderful soups and vegetable plates that will leave you with mouth watering recipes.
