In my opinion you must have Barbecued Sweetcorn with Roasted Pepper. Honey and Sumac Salsa Dressing, on your next BBQ menu, because a Barbie isn't a barbie without sweetcorn. Lightly chargrilled corn on the cob makes the perfect side dish for your BBQ Spread. Instead of having plainly roasted sweetcorn you can jazz up your corn on the cob with this Barbecued Sweetcorn with Roasted Pepper Salsa Dressing. Everything in the salsa gives the corn an extra kick, it is rich in flavour and colour without being overpowering!
Luckily our Bank Holiday Weekend was really sunny, the sun was out and shining down and it was time to crank up the barbie! And we enjoyed so many finger-licking and moreish BBQ dishes along with Barbecued Sweetcorn with Roasted Pepper, Honey and Sumac Salsa Dressing.

You can use red chilli powder or dried red chilli flakes if you can't find paprika.
Instead of Honey, you can use agave nectar, maple syrup or date syrup.

I've never had sumac before -- what does it taste like? Of course, I love grilled corn and sweet peppers so I'm hooked. This is such an unusual combination -- I have to try it!
jcookingodyssey says
Thanks Lisa for the comment. Sumac is a middle eastern spice, but not spicey at all actually it's tangy. Let us know if you try it out.

Ah! My love affair with roasted corn on cob is ethereal �� I love how you have innovatively used the pepper-sumac salsa as a dressing. As of now, there is no sign of summer here but this will be something that will be on my BBQ menu when sun finally shines!
