20+ Good Side Dishes for Steak: Grilled Corn Salad

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
This grilled corn salad makes great use of all of your summer veggies. With corn as a base, use whatever veggies you have on hand to supplement! I like to use sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes. Or try the other tasty steak side recipe ideas shared!

Ingredients
 

  • 4 ears of corn
  • Cooking spray
  • Roughly 2 cups sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp sliced basil strips
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tsp flaked sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
  • Remove the husks and threads from the corn and rinse. Spray each ear of corn with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Wrap them each in foil.
  • In a grill basket, toss sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and kosher salt.
  • Reduce grill heat to medium. Place corn cobs in the center of the grill. Grill for 7 minutes.
  • Add grill basket to the grill. Flip corn. Grill veggies and corn for an additional 7 minutes, tossing veggies once. If you want char marks on your corn, remove foil and return to grill for last few minutes of cooking, turning occasionally.
  • While the veggies are grilling, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook until garlic is just starting to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, half the basil, and half the parsley.
  • Once veggies are done, let cool for 3-5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice kernels off the cob.
  • Add veggies and corn kernels to a salad bowl. Pour over the butter lemon mixture and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with remaining basil, parsley, and flaked sea salt. Serve warm.

Notes

I recommend keeping the corn, but feel free to sub the tomatoes and snap peas for whatever veggies you have on hand, or add additional veggies! Zucchini would be great.
