What is Corn and Red Pepper Salad?

Corn and Red Pepper Salad combines sweet corn kernels with powdered red pepper for a simple, lightly spiced side. The name can suggest fresh red bell pepper, but here the pepper is a seasoning; its heat depends on the type used. There is no single regional recipe or fixed place of origin.

Serve it alongside lunch or dinner, at a barbecue, or as part of a spread of small dishes. The corn’s sweetness balances the pepper’s savoury warmth, and the salad works well with grilled vegetables, beans or other hearty mains. It is a relatively light choice with some fibre: a 100 g portion provides 3.1 g. Add a squeeze of lemon at the table for a fresher finish.
