Grilled Corn Salad with BBQ Farmers Sausage

This post and the giveaway is sponsored by my good friends at Grimm's Fine Foods. All the opinions are my own. 

I know I've been bombarding you guys with a host of grilled recipes lately, but I just can't help myself. You don't mind, do you? It's just that I can't think of any better way to make dinner in the summer than firing up the grill.

  1. Everything that spends some time on your BBQ gets infused with the most delicious smoky flavour.
  2. You don't have to turn on your oven when it's already a million degrees in your house.
  3. No dishes! Ok, almost no dishes.
  4. Everything tastes better grilled.

Speaking of #4 on the list, you really can BBQ just about anything. I normally think of throwing some steaks or smokies on the grill, but all kinds of veggies (like corn!) and even farmers sausage can get a delicious smoky makeover after a few minutes of live fire love.

This grilled corn salad has a little bit of everything I want in a salad:

  • Crunchy celery and sweet peppers
  • Smoky grilled corn
  • Creamy avocado
  • A delicious and slightly tangy dressing
  • Little bites of flavour packed sausage

I made this recipe to be eaten as a side dish, but it could very easily be eaten as a quick and easy weeknight meal. Picture this: You get home from work. You're hungry. You're tired. Then, 20 minutes later you're sitting on your deck, cold beer in hand and a plate of grilled corn salad in front of you. Awesome, right?!

Grilled Corn Salad with BBQ Farmers Sausage

I recently teamed up with Grimm's Fine Foods, a local Canadian company that offers high-quality meat products, cheeses, snacks and tortillas and wraps. The idea was to create a few different recipes using some of their products and my BBQ.

I was sent a cooler full of smokies, wieners and sausages. You guys, I don't even know what to say except, “They were AMAZING!” Sorry for yelling at you like that, but everything I tried was just so frickin good. My absolute favourite was Grimm's Jalapeño and Mozzarella Smokies. I'm the kind of girl who loves heat. Normally when I see words like “japapeño” on a package I figure that it's there just to be a tease, as things are never actually hot. These smokies actually have a bite! I can't even tell how happy that makes me. 🙂

The Farmers Sausage I used in this recipe is super flavourful. If you wanted a little heat with dinner, you could always switch it with Grimm's Jalapeño and Mozzarella Smokies.

You know I'm always going to tell you first about how something tastes, but there is more to Grimm's than just great tasting food.

  1. Many of Grimm's products are gluten, soy and lactose-free. This means all your friends and family will be able to enjoy your feast.
  2. Grimm's uses premium ingredients in their products so you can feel good about what you're eating.
  3. Grimm's is a Canadian company and, since I'm Canadian too, I think that's pretty awesome.
  4. They're offering one lucky winner a cooler full of their products AND a BBQ set … how great is that?!!

Have I convinced you yet to try them out?

  8. I love to grill liver! Liver is amazing on the bbq. I use a cast iron griddle on the grill to make it.

    • I LOVE grilled peaches. I started grilling them only last year (I’m a little slow on the food trends sometimes, lol) and I can’t get over how good they are.
