This Grilled Corn & Steak Salad is a hearty yet fresh main dish that’s perfect for summer nights. It combines smoky grilled steak, charred corn, crisp greens, and creamy blue cheese, all brought together with a tangy champagne vinaigrette. It’s the kind of salad that eats like a meal.
You’ll like this one if you’re into bold flavors and low-fuss prep. The steak and veggies all go on the grill at once, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the evening.
Helpful Tips
- Let the steak rest before slicing so the juices don’t run out and dry it out.
- Use fresh corn if you can—grilling it brings out the sweetness and adds a little char.
- Slice the red onion thick so it doesn’t burn on the grill, just gets a nice char.
