At lunch at Holler & Dash on Howell Mill Road, I ordered the charred corn, mozzarella and lime salad and found this combination of flavors and textures a cooling summer salad treat. I would like to try this salad in my home and hoping that this restaurant will share the recipe. —John Wolfinger, Atlanta
The chefs at Holler & Dash suggest this is a great salad to serve the next time you’re cooking on the grill. You can grill the corn while you’re grilling other things and then make the salad and refrigerate where it will keep for up to two days. Need some ideas for what to serve it with? They suggest pickled shrimp or smoked ribs and accompanying it with a Michelada. They also serve the corn salad as part of their Farm Fresh Bowl where it accompanies roasted sweet potatoes, pickled onion and baby kale with chili-buttermilk dressing.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
