Keep it light and tasty with this Grilled Corn Summer Salad with Chimichurri Dressing. Packed full of tons of veggies and fresh flavors!
If you haven't noticed the trend around TSV, chimichurri dressing is kind of everything right now. It just embodies fresh, tangy summer flavors - plus it tastes good on just about everything.
I like whipping up a batch of my chimichurri recipe (which you can get here) and then use it on everything I make. Like this Serrano Pepper Avocado Toast and this Grilled Corn Summer Salad.
Sometimes you just need a bowl of greens topped with juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, tangy red onion and, of course, freshly grilled corn.
Now just imagine yourself sitting outside on a warm summer night snacking on this tasty salad.
It just screams everything that is good about summer.
