Grilled Asparagus and Corn Salad
This colourful salad combines the sweet, smoky flavours of grilled corn and asparagus with a spicy chipotle pepper dressing. Tossed with red pepper and scallion, it offers a festive mix of textures and tastes. The zesty dressing, made with lime juice, vinegar, and garlic, coats the vegetables beautifully. It's an excellent way to use leftover grilled veggies for a quick and impressive side dish that serves four.
