Roasted corn and pepper salad with fresh chives

A super simple salad to be served when corn is at the height of the season.  The recipe contains very few ingredients because the flawless flavors of the corn and peppers shine through and there is not need to cover them up with excessive dressings or spices.  You can also buy frozen or canned corn and char in a saute pan.

Enjoy with a grilled meat, such as my cocoa-coffee flank steak or your favorite fresh grilled fish or chicken.

Clean the peppers, removing the seeds and cutting into bite size pieces. Place in large bowl.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and about 1 teaspoon salt, toss together well and place on a large baking sheet-peppers should be in a single layer.

5

Place peppers in oven and roast for 45 minutes, checking half way, moving around the peppers to assure even cooking.

Place the corn on heated grill, roast each side for about 7-8 minutes until darker in color.

Remove from grill, let cool for 10 minutes and then with a sharp knife remove kernels from the husk and place in a large serving bowl.

Add the roasted red peppers to the corn along with the fresh chives.

Mix all together and then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, a few drops of vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss together very well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
