Prepare a flavourful grilled corn salad with paneer

You cannot go wrong with the delicious grilled corn salad with paneer. Frying the frozen corn kernels over high heat will make them beautifully golden brown, and with added salt and paprika, the corn will give the dish a grilled, smoky feel. Topped with diced tomatoes and white cheese, the salad with grilled corn never strays into overly sweet territory. The two ingredients make up a fresh and tangy combination and add a softness that creates a great contrast in texture. That way, every bite is a discovery of flavours and consistencies.

Enjoy the flavour of marinated paneer

Paneer is great but marinated paneer is on another level. When marinated, the paneer is infused with zesty notes of lemon and mild, caramelised sweetness from the cooked garlic. The combination allows for a creamy texture full of strong flavours that pair well with the sweetness of the grilled corn.

Crunchy texture with toasted sourdough bread

The secret weapon in this grilled corn salad with paneer is the toasted sourdough bread with an indelible crunchy texture. The irresistible crunch that comes from a big bite is a delightful contrast to the creamy paneer and grilled corn. From the cooking process, the bread gets a golden-brown crust creating a mouth-watering sight and a satisfyingly crispy texture. Frying the bread in butter allows it to soak up some of the golden goodness until it slightly caramelises, giving it its rich flavour and tasty crunch.

Serve with a refreshing lime dressing

Serve the grilled corn with a refreshing lime dressing to add a cool, bright touch. Made with yogurt, lime, and honey, this delicious addition to your grilled corn with paneer has been carefully crafted to add contrast to the sweetness of the dish. The tangy lime juice and floral, sweet honey make up a nuanced flavour base bound together by the thick and fresh yogurt. Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad to enhance the flavour experience and make every bite feel like heaven. It is the perfect finishing touch to an already incredible dish.

Experiment with the ingredients

Unleash your creativity by experimenting with ingredients of your choice. If you enjoy the creamy texture of the paneer and white cheese and want to boost the texture of the salad even more, consider adding a small portion of sliced avocado to the mix. Avocado adds richness and creaminess that balances out the smoky flavours of the corn and paneer.

Red pepper is also a popular choice for salads. It adds a crunch and freshness if you just dice and add it to the salad, but it can also provide extra depth if grilled alongside the corn.

Spice up the salad by using mild chilli with your seasoning. Paprika and chilli powder work wonderfully together, but you can also experiment with fresh chilli or jalapeños. The combination will add a kick to your salad, but you can always adjust the intensity depending on the spice tolerance of you and your guests.
