Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place the husked corn on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and tender.

- While the corn and tomatoes are grilling, slice the peaches into wedges, removing the pits.
- Remove the corn and tomatoes from the grill. Allow them to cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs and slice the tomatoes into wedges.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels, tomato wedges, and peach slices.
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serving
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
Storage
