Grilling season is in full swing here at Home Movies, and this grilled corn and scallion salad is a true delight to make (and eat!). The corn and scallions get grilled until they’re nice and charred, then tossed with fresh cilantro, salty queso fresco, tangy pepperoncinis, and crunchy corn nuts. It’s deeply acidic, a little spicy, a little sweet, and hands-down my favorite way to eat corn. You can keep it simple, or top it with grilled steak or chicken, or seared shrimp or scallops to make it a more complete meal. If you make it once, you’ll be making it all summer long.
