And if you take that smoky sweet corn and mix it with other summer vegetables, you've achieved the ultimate summer salad. Are you with me? Here are 14 grilled corn salads you'll want to enjoy all summer.

Grilled corn is mixed with diced green bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, fresh cilantro, and olive oil. It's simple, but perfectly balanced, seasoned, and bursting with bright flavors. To make sure those flavors are at their best, allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes before eating.

It's Mexican-style grilled corn, but served in a cup. "This is Mexican street food at its finest," says recipe creator Muy Bueno. "Anytime I visit El Paso or Mexico the craving of elote en vaso steps into high gear. Now anytime I crave this I whip it up at home, except I make it fancy by serving it in a pretty glass instead of the traditional Styrofoam® cup. No matter how you serve it the taste is sweet, crunchy, fiery, and juicy. This is a very loose recipe. Feel free to adjust the proportions of lime juice, crema, cheese, and spices to taste!"
