Summer is here and it’s time to start loading up on all the fresh veggies. This is my new favorite summer side dish – a medley of charred sweet corn and tomatoes, accented by a pop of hot peppers that creates a delicious spicy charred sweet corn and tomato side dish. My favorite part is finishing the dish with a few splashes of tangy hot sauce.

You can pile this charred sweet corn on top of salads or roasted chicken or steak, so it’s super versatile!
