Grilled Fresh Corn and
Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad

Combining the great tastes of smokey grilled fresh corn
and super sweet vidallia onions, this salad is great!
I added some sweet smoked red paprika and it was awesome!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium sweet vadalia onions, peeled and thinly sliced
6 ears of fresh corn, grilled
6-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
12-ounce can white beans
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Place a skillet over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the onions
and cook slowly until the onions start to caramelize.
Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Trim the kernels from the roasted corn
and add to the bowl along with the roasted pepper,
white beans and parsley. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice,
vinegar, basil, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
While you are whisking, slowly drizzle in the remaining
1/4 cup olive oil so it is well incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and serve.
