Smoky Corn & Black Bean Pizza

The secret to a grilled pizza is having all your ingredients ready to go before you head out to the grill. Make it a meal: Toss the extra black beans, diced tomato and some avocado with prewashed salad greens and a tangy vinaigrette and dinner is on the table in no time.

Mexican Grilled Corn

Street vendors across Mexico sell this style of roasted or grilled corn—topped with mayonnaise, chili powder and Cotija cheese. You can serve the unadorned corn on a platter with small bowls of the sauce, cheese and lime on the side so everyone can make their own.

Enjoy delicious, healthy corn recipes from EatingWell.

When fresh summer corn fills grocery stores and farmers markets, take advantage—nothing beats fresh corn on the cob or a cool corn salad on a hot summer day. Corn is not just delicious and kid-friendly, it is also high in folate, vitamin C, niacin, thiamine and fiber.

No fresh corn on hand? Frozen corn is extremely versatile. Use it in soups, stews or as a side on its own or with other vegetables. Start enjoying more corn with our recipe collection. Grilled, boiled, roasted, creamed or cut, corn is a great way to get another vegetable on the table.
