It is past Labor Day, and if I was on top of things, I would be starting to post pumpkin recipes, apple recipes, butternut squash recipes, and other fall-themed dishes.
But, I am still stuck in summer! However, since it went up to 90 degrees here today, I am not totally off-season! There is still summer left to enjoy, folks! 🙂
I love potato salad, but most of the time it is so heavy and laden with calories that it just isn’t something I will eat often. So when I ran across this lightened-up potato salad recipe at FatFreeVegan.com, I had to try it!
I adapted the recipe slightly, substituting dijonnaise for the dijon mustard, only because I was out of dijon mustard. The result was delicious and the whole family loved it, especially DH!
Slightly adapted from FatFreeVegan.com.
Potato and Grilled Corn Salad
Print RecipeIngredients
- 4 corn cobs (husked)
- 2 pounds small white potatoes
- 4 green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons dijonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Extra fresh dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot, add the potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15-18 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat grill to medium high, place the corn on the grill and cook about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until corn is tender.
- Remove the corn from the grill. Handling carefully because they are hot, cut the kernels from the cobs. Place into a large bowl and set aside.
- Remove the potatoes from the pot and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place in the bowl with the corn kernels.
- In a small bowl, combine the green onions, dijonnaise, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and dill.
- Add the dressing to the large bowl with the corn and potatoes and toss to coat.
- Garnish with additional fresh dill (if desired) and serve.

I have a little confession to make…I still have a few more summer recipes to post! Hopefully I will start with some fall recipes soon, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy the tail end of the summer season!

September 8, 2014 at 4:15 pmThis sounds fabulous! I so envy your fresh corn – it is quite difficult to grow here in Scotland. I usually have to make do with tinned corn – just not the same at all!

September 5, 2014 at 6:01 amI’m a fall fanatic when it comes to food, but I do agree it sure hasn’t felt like fall! We are still steaming here in NY. I love this salad and I am a huge fan of dill in potato salad! Looks delicious.

September 4, 2014 at 1:05 pmIt is still so hot and muggy here too! Does not feel like fall at all! So, yes BBQ’s are still in order here. Love this take on traditional potato salad, especially the addition of the grilled corn. 🙂 Pinned.
