Grilled Corn Summer Pasta Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: corn, olive oil, dried orecchiette pasta, cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, pepper

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears corn
olive oil, for brushing
8 oz dried orecchiette pasta, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups cherry tomato
½ cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 ½ cups fresh cilantro
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons honey
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
  • Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
  • Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
  • Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
  • Enjoy!

HALLOUMI WITH CORN, CHERRY TOMATOES AND BASIL



Halloumi With Corn, Cherry Tomatoes and Basil image

Seared cubes of halloumi get melty and soft on their insides and dark brown and a little crisp on the surface, making it almost impossible not to devour them all as they come out of the pan. But try to resist, because they're even better tossed with a quick sauté of summer corn and tomatoes, seasoned with basil. Slivers of red onions, folded in raw at the end, add crunch and sweetness, while a squeeze of fresh lime makes everything tangy and fresh. Although this dish is at its most sublime made with fresh summer corn and ripe tomatoes, it's nearly as good in winter made with frozen corn. Serve it for a light, meatless dinner or a substantial side dish with roasted or grilled chicken or fish.

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
12 to 14 ounces halloumi cheese, diced into 1-inch cubes and patted dry
2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed (from 2 to 3 ears of corn)
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 jalapeño, seeded or not, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, more as garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, preferably nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high until it thins out, about 20 seconds. Working in batches, add cheese in one layer, and cook until golden on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip cheese and cook without moving until golden on the other side, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining cheese.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat it over medium-high. Add corn, tomatoes, jalapeño, cumin seeds and salt, and cook until corn and tomatoes have softened and everything looks juicy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the heat and stir in the browned cheese, sliced onion and basil. Squeeze a lime wedge or two over everything and season with more salt and lots of black pepper. Garnish with more basil and serve immediately.

Provided by Karlee Rotoly

Categories     Lunch

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ears corn, husked
4 oz halloumi cheese, cut into 1/4in (6 mm) slabs
2 whole wheat pitas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Za'atar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
⅓ cup hazelnuts, toasted
4 cups mixed greens
1 cup fresh mint leaf, torn
1 cup cherry tomato, halved lengthwise
1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides. Remove the corn from the pan and set aside to cool.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the halloumi to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
  • Tear the pita into irregular pieces directly onto an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the za'atar and salt. Use your hands to toss until evenly coated. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pita is golden brown and begins to crisp.
  • Make the dressing: in a small jar with a lid, combine the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, shallot, red wine vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to emulsify. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • On a cutting board, lay an ear of corn on its side and cut off the kernels, keeping the kernels in clusters if possible. Roughly chop the hazelnuts. Cut each halloumi slab diagonally into quarters.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large shallow bowl, combine half of the greens, half of the mint, half of the pita, half of the cherry tomatoes, and half of the corn. Season with salt and top with half of the halloumi. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (layering helps make the salad more interesting and full). Top the salad with the toasted hazelnuts. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
  • Enjoy!

CORN SALAD WITH MANGO AND HALLOUMI



Corn Salad With Mango and Halloumi image

This salad brings together some of summer's best and brightest ingredients: corn, mango and cucumbers. A perfect, just-ripe mango provides sweetness as a counterbalance to the saltiness of fried halloumi. The cheese is fairly easy to find in supermarkets, but if you are looking for an alternative, you can use queso blanco, which is less salty, but fries in a similar way. (For best results, fry the cheese just before you are ready to eat.) Pita chips turn this into a heartier meal. You can also wrap the salad in corn tortillas and serve with guacamole.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Black pepper
3 ears of corn, husks removed
2 (8-ounce) blocks halloumi cheese, drained and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large just-ripe mango, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 Persian or mini cucumbers (about 1/2 pound), unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 scallions, finely sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 ounces pita chips, crumbled

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, place the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, cumin and smoked paprika in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Taste, and season with pepper and also more salt if needed.
  • To prepare the salad, place the ears of corn on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, massaging to coat.
  • Heat a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high. When hot, add the corn and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, so they char. (The ears don't need to be completely blackened, just parts of them.) Set aside. When cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the corn from the ears and add to the bowl with the vinaigrette. When the pan has cooled, wipe it out.
  • Pat the halloumi cheese with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Heat the same pan you used for the corn over medium-high. When hot, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the halloumi pieces and cook for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, turning frequently, until they are golden on all sides. Transfer to the bowl with the corn.
  • To the bowl, add the mango, cucumbers, mint, cilantro and scallions and toss to combine. Taste and add salt and black pepper to your liking. When you are ready to serve, top with pita chips and toss gently.
