A delicious summer salad made from grilled peaches, pork and corn mixed with avocado, mint and red onion.

When it comes to summer salads, ingredients don't get much more seasonal than this tasty Grilled Pork, Peach and Corn Salad.

I think that's part of the charm, that there's only a small window in the year when you can make it. But when you do, gosh it's good! Although the grilled peach may feel unusual, trust me - it makes the salad.

This salad hits all the right notes. Crunchy, zesty, sweet and sour. I guarantee this will become one of your go-to salads after you make it the first time. Such a great option to take along to a BBQ or pot luck.

How to make Pork and Peach salad:

Place the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish and mix to combine. Add the pork steaks and coat on each side. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Place the corn, still in the husk, in the microwave for 5 minutes. Remove the husk ready to BBQ.

Cook the pork on the BBQ for 6 minutes on one side and turn over and grill for a further 2 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to rest. Grill the peach halves and corn cobs at the same time as the pork, until slightly charred then remove.

Cut the corn off the cob, dice the grilled peaches then add to a large bowl with the diced avocado, sliced onion and fresh mint. Combine the dressing ingredients together. Pour over the salad and mix everything to combine. Pour the salad onto a platter.

Slice the pork into thin pieces and place on top of the salad. Scatter over the roasted cashews and serve immediately.

Common questions and tips for Pork, Peach and corn salad:

What if I can't find pork steaks? I've also made this salad with pork loin. It looks so impressive laid out on top of the salad.

Could I use other stone fruit? Absolutely. Yellow flesh peaches could be substituted for white flesh peaches or even nectarines.

TIPS

If you don't have a BBQ available, the pork, corn and peaches can be grilled in a frying pan. Cooking times may vary.
Cucumber makes a lovely addition!
You can leave the red onion out or swap it for spring onion of you prefer.
