Sometimes it’s even too hot to grill outdoors, such was the case when this salad was made. When temperatures are high in the 90’s, a nice light and fresh salad always makes for a great meal.
Shrimp, charred corn, summer tomatoes are the key ingredients in this salad, along with toasted ciabatta croutons along and a few other ingredients with some fresh herbs.
All you need is a cool drink alongside when eating this salad and I guarantee you’ll be totally satisfied.
I like to slice up my tomatoes and let them sit in some olive oil until the juices mingle together while I get the other ingredients gathered. I opted to put my oven on and roast up my shrimp and crisp up the bread cubes, but you can certainly use your air fryer or grill them outside if it’s not unbearable heat like I had.
I even charred the corn inside right over my stove burners!
I used a light vinaigrette for the dressing but even a fresh lemon and olive oil dressing would be delicious too. I hope you enjoy this shrimp and charred corn panzanella salad on these last hot, humid days of summer!
