Charred Corn Poblano Salad with Feta

Gluten Free, keto, Salad, Sides, Vegetarian1 Response »

Most summers I tend to obsess over one specific salad.  A salad that circulates through pot-lucks, bbq’s or just dinner at home.  Last summer I made this Quinoa Lentil Salad many, many times.  The previous summer, my garden was bursting with vegetables, which inspired this Summer Squash Salad with Feta and Herbs.

This year a bright and festive corn salad has popped into our repertoire.  Laden with charred smokey poblano peppers, red-bell pepper, feta, red onion, and a lots of fresh herbs. This salad is so simple – with easy to find ingredients, it also tastes great at room temperature and pairs with just about anything, that’s a winner of a salad in my book honey.

I am thinking of a charred poblano and potato salad next, what do you think?

Peel outer thin skin from poblanos and cut in half, remove seeds and ribs from inside then cut into a small dice.
