The other thing about Summer is that it gets quite a bit warmer here in Washington and most houses here don’t have air conditioning. Yes, you heard me right.
No air conditioning.
I was born and raised in Texas. “No air conditioning” is not a term or phrase we hear often or even understand. But I’m in Washington now and we really don’t even need it, EXCEPT for the summer time where it reaches the upper 80’s (on Monday, it’s supposed to be 88 degrees) and come on, that’s kinda hot if you don’t have any A/C. So, what are we doing?
We’ve pulled out our portable fans and we’re eating salads.
If you follow me on
This salad is anything but ordinary. I loved all the flavors and textures together. . so if you can get your hands on some kimchi, I hope you give this one a try. I ate two bowls.
I hope you enjoy!
Spicy Bacon and Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 3 ears of sweet corn; husked
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; melted
- 2 carrots; shredded
- 2 cups broccoli slaw
- 1/4 cup green onions; diced + more for garnish
- 7-9 slices of bacon; cooked until crispy and then broken into bits
- 1/4 cup roasted walnuts or peanuts optional
For the kimchi mixture:
- 1 cup kimchi try to use kimchi that has been fermented a little longer; it will taste better
- 1 tablespoon honey feel free to add a little more if you want it sweeter
- 2-3 teaspoons brown rice vinegar
Instructions
- Fire up your grill. When your grill is ready, brush on the melted butter on your corn and place on the grill. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning the corn every 2 minutes or so until all the sides are slightly charred. Set aside to cool.
- To make the kimchi mixture: Using a food processor or blender, blend or pulse the kimchi, honey and brown rice vinegar together. You want to end up with blended kimchi. Taste and adjust with honey or vinegar if necessary.
- To assemble the salad: using a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn (cut from the cob), shredded carrots, brocoli slaw, green onions, crispy bacon bits, and walnuts or peanuts (if using). Pour in the kimchi mixture and mix well. Garnish with more green onions and serve.
