Summer Roasted Corn and Bountiful Veggie Salad

Summer roasted corn is just something that is endlessly amazing to me. I roasted it with a mixture of lime, cumin, olive oil, and salt which is my absolute favourite marinade. It just really makes the sweet freshness of the corn come out, while still adding a tangy savoury flavour to the mix.

Corn Marinade:
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste

Salad:
1/2 cup black quinoa + 1 1/2 cups water
3 ears of corn, husked
2 red bell peppers
2 nectarines, sliced into small cubes
16 heirloom cherry tomatoes, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cucumber, sliced into small cubes
handful of fresh basil, roughly chopped or ripped

Dressing:
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cumin
pepper to taste
