    Air Fryer Corn Summer Salad recipe

    Cooking Corn in the air fryer is one of the simplest ways to indulge in Summer's sweet local corn on the cob. It is fantastic when you want some grilled corn but doesn't want to go throw the hassle of BBQing just for that! And when you have a couple of extra corn on the cob, you can make this delicious quick and easy Air Fryer Simple Corn Summer Salad! We always make extra!

    Air Fryer Sweet Corn Summer Salad

    Some of our favourite air fryer recipes include Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Taiwanese Popcorn Turkey. However, this 15 minute Corn on the Cob recipe is highly requested in our household.

    Simply remove the sweet juicy kernels once you get that perfect char buttery, juicy corn; add in tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, parsley, some seasoning, squeeze lime juice, and mix well. It is that easy!

    It has the perfect balance of smokiness and acidity that highlights fresh summer produce.

    Selecting Summer Vegetables

    Summer is the height of the growing season, and it is hard to beat the taste of fresh in-season vegetables. Adding vibrant vegetables to your salad is delicious and appealing to your senses.

    We used garden ripe cherry tomatoes, baby cucumbers, and shallots (red onions work equally well). Season it with fresh thyme herbs, parsley, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste.

    Mix well.

    Serve as a simple side salad or on its own, topped with your choice of protein.

    Easy Tip to Cut Corn Off the Cob Mess-Free

    There's nothing quite as messy as removing corn on the cob. To avoid kernels jumping off your counter, this simple trick should make it easier.

    Simply place a tea towel under a large mixing bowl and another clean tea towel inside the bowl. Now place the bottom end of the corn right in the bowl, standing vertically. Using a sharp paring knife, slice downwards, and you will see all the corn kernels fall right into the bowl.
