Photo: Grilled Corn Sheets with Scallion Vinaigrette Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ears corn, silks removed, husks left on, soaked in cold, salted water for 5 minutes
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion, green and pale green part
Directions
For the grill corn:
Heat the grill to high. Remove the corn from the water and shake off the excess water.
Put the corn on the grill, close the cover, and grill, turning every 5 minutes, until the kernels are tender when pieced with a paring knife, about 15 to 20 minutes.
While the corn is cooking, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey, chives and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Stir in the scallions and set aside.
Stand the corn upright on its stalk end and carefully cut down the sides of the cob with a sharp chef's knife, trying to keep the corn in sheets. Carefully transfer the corn to a platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette

I made this dressing for a chopped salad, and then used it on green salads and sandwiches for the rest of the week. Outstanding flavor!
My one change, which I think improves the dressing, was to make this in a blender (isn't that how Bobby did it in the show?. The processed scallions gave the dressing a very rich texture and it stayed emulsified for days. Next time I might chop the chives by hand and add them at the end for the visual impact, but it was a piece of cake to make in the blender (or food processor. Everyone loved it.

At first taste, I wasn't sure that I would like this, but after a few bites, I became obsessed with it, sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night to polish it off. I'll be making it all summer.
