Grilled Summer Corn Salad

How often Do You Dice Vegetables?

Knife skills are essential when preparing a dish. It enables you to cut your food uniformly. Dicing is one of those skills.

Dicing is a culinary knife cut where food is cut into small blocks or dice.

You can easily master this essential knife skill when you have top-quality tools in hand like Calphalon cutlery. Calphalon Contemporary SharpIN™ Nonstick Cutlery is a line of premium cutlery that features a uniquely designed nonstick-coated blade with a raised ridge that prevents food from sticking—making food prep easier and saving you time. These full tang knives deliver added balance and strength while dicing, slicing, and chopping.

So, when dicing the onions for this Grilled Summer Corn Salad, I used the 7″ Slicer Knife with Ridge from the Calphalon Contemporary SharpIN™ Nonstick Cutlery set.

Start by cutting the onion in half, leaving the root and peel. Place one half face down and make 6-8 vertical slices in the onion.

Make 2 cuts horizontally, one above the other, the slice down across the cuts to make the dice. Slice until the onion is cut just to the root.

For the Grilled Summer Corn Salad, add diced onions to a bowl. Also dice the green pepper and chop the cilantro.

Shuck 3 ears of freak corn. Grill them on an outdoor grill or inside in a grill pan until at least half of the kernels is charred. Slice off the kernels and add to the bowl.

To make the vinaigrette, add olive oil, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic and honey to a bowl.

Add Salt & pepper to taste. Bowl on top of the salad and mix. It’s the perfect Summer side dish!

You can also add it to a grilled flank steak. Either way, it’s delicious!

Calphalon’s Contemporary SharpIN™ Nonstick Cutlery set definitely made dicing the salad ingredients a whole lot easier!
