While most people think of summer and get excited about days spent at the beach, hot weather, etc., I get excited about trips to my local farmer's market and all the amazing fruit and vegetables I will find. There's nothing that beats eating foods that in in season; my husband and I even prefer going to restaurants that regularly change their menu based on what is in season. And what is in season right now is sweet summer corn!
Growing up, my father would regularly make bhutas for us -- whole ears of grilled corn, slathered with butter, fresh lime juice, salt, and lal mirch (cayenne pepper). Before we finally purchased a grill, he would roast each ear of corn over an open gas flame from our stove, carefully using tongs to hold the ear and rotate it over the fire.
I used my memories of bhutas as the inspiration for this recipe: a grilled corn summer salad. Not only is the corn in season, but so are the tomatoes and avocados. That makes for a delicious and fresh-tasting salad!
