This corn and okra salad gets loads of flavor from the grill. If okra isn't your jam, you could slice a large zucchini into planks to grill, then chop and stir into the salad. Grill some chicken thighs or tofu steaks to serve alongside.

Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn, husked

  • 6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1/3 cup, divided

  • 2 bunches scallions, trimmed

  • 4 cups small okra pods

  • 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Place a grill basket on a grill; preheat on high for 10 minutes.

  2. Brush corn with 2 teaspoons oil. Brush scallions with 2 teaspoons oil. Toss okra with 2 teaspoons oil in a medium bowl. Transfer the okra to the grill basket; place the corn and scallions directly on the grates. Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes for the scallions and 8 to 10 minutes for the corn and okra.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup oil, vinegar, garlic, honey, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  4. Cut the corn from the cobs and slice the scallions into 2-inch pieces. Add the corn and scallions to the dressing along with the okra and feta; stir gently to combine.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
