Red Potato & Grilled Corn Salad
Happy Sunday! Today’s #SundaySupper theme is garden recipes. I was thrilled when I found out what this weeks theme was going to be. I love growing fresh herbs in the summer and using them in my recipes. They really brighten a dish.
I made Red Potato & Grilled Corn Salad with a chipotle lime vinaigrette for this week’s #SundaySupper. It’s perfect for summer picnics, barbecues, and deck parties. Not only is this salad delicious, it’s healthy. There is no mayo in this salad.
This salad is full of fresh garden ingredients: red potatoes, radishes, grilled sweet corn, scallions, and fresh cilantro.
The vinaigrette that tops the salad is amazing. It’s made with spicy chipotles, tart limes, and sweet honey. Sweet, tart, and spicy is my favorite combination.
This Red Potato & Grilled Corn Salad is extremely easy to throw together. That’s what I love about. If you have a last minute party to attend, don’t worry, this salad can be made in 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
Red Potato & Grilled Corn Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. red potatoes, scrubbed and chunked into 1-inch cubes
- 3 ears fresh corn, husked
- 6 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup light olive oil
- 4 teaspoons honey
- Pinch of cayenne
- Salt and pepper
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan cover potatoes with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. When the water begins to boil, add some salt to flavor the potatoes, about 1/4 cup. Reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes until tender when pierced with a knife or fork, about 15 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, drain and rinse with cold water. Add potatoes to a large bowl.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat a gas or charcoal grill (feel free to use an indoor grill). Drizzle corn with olive oil and salt and pepper. Cook the corn directly over the heat until the kernels are brown all over, turning often, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut kernels off the cob. Add corn, scallions, radishes, and cilantro to the bowl with the cooked potatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chipotle in adobo, garlic, honey, and cayenne. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour vinaigrette over potato mixture. Toss to combine. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

This looks like a great salad for BBQ season… I bet it would be the perfect pairing with a big juicy steak fresh off the grill! :) I just love that bright pop of colour from the radishes and corn, too.
Thank you, Isabelle. I agree, it would go great with a big ol’ steak.
I love a salad sans mayo & this looks tasty :-)

Thanks, Carla. The radishes add a lovely crisp crunch to the mix.
Ooo! This salad sounds amazing! So fresh and I just want to dive right into it.
Hi Jennie! So glad to have found you on Foodbuzz and that we are neighbors, sort of! I live in Montgomery County….near Bethesda! I love your blog and I love this potato salad. I grow fresh herbs in the spring and summer, too. This potato salad looks so fresh and bright….love that there is no mayo here. I’m looking forward to seeing all the scrumptious things you cook up! : )
Thanks, Ann. You’re only about 40 minutes away from me. I love having blog neighbors. Thanks for your lovely comments.
I’ve never heard of this before! Such a great idea!
Thanks, Kayle. I found the recipe in a magazine, and I changed it around a bit to suit my tastes. The results were delicious.
Looks delicious, fresh, and perfect for spring! Love that there’s no mayo in there, too.
What a fresh and flavorful summer meal! I make something similar with potatoes, fresh corn, dill butter, and fish all wrapped up in aluminum foil and thrown onto the grill. If you’re interested, it’s called my “New England Seafood Bake”!
Oh my this is gorgeous. I love how you’ve combined things I would not have thought of here. I must try this one.
I love your Sunday Supper Ideas! I just nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award on my latest post! To accept check it out : )
Chelsea, thank you so much. I’m honored.
What a lovely salad! I love all the ingredients except the cilantro… Whenever I see it, I substitute with parsley or something. This is a great side dish. Pinning it :-)
Thanks, Lyn.

What a lovely salad! I’ve missed two #SundaySupper’s in a row and feel really bad. Will be sure to join in the next one. :)
Ana, missed the last one and felt terrible, too. I have been so busy with school. Finals- ugh! Thanks for the lovely compliment.
Just popped in to let you know that I gave you some awards: http://binomialbaker.blogspot.com/2012/05/death-by-oreos-cupcakes.html
jennie, this week you all really outdid yourself with the Sunday Supper. i love, love, LOVE your salad. i have a tiny weakness for salads with corn in them, and the combination of the corn, the potatoes and all the other good things sounds amazing. can’t wait to try this!
Thanks, Shannon. I adore this salad. It’s a perfect summer salad.
These are great elements for a southwestern salad! I hardly see that much of radishes, except in leaf salads, so I like that you used it here. Also, the dressing does spark and interest as well with notes of citrus and heat. Well done!
Wow, this looks so delicious! =)
Yum….what a great combo….I will leave out cilantro though…just not a fan.. but all the rest count me in! Just found your site thru your twitter…glad to be here!
Thanks for finding me and for the lovely comments.
