Corn and Avocado Salad
This easy grilled corn and avocado salad is the perfect summer side! Packed with fresh flavors, it’s great for BBQs, potlucks, or a light lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup red onion small diced
- ½ cup poblano pepper small diced (or 1 pepper)
- 2 large roma tomatoes small diced (or roughly 1 cup)
- 1 ripe avocado diced
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 dash chipotle powder or cayenne
- ¾-1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silks from the corn and lightly brush each ear with oil. Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, rotating occasionally, until charred.
- Let the corn cool slightly, then slice the kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, ground cumin, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- To the bowl of grilled corn, add diced red onion, chopped poblano pepper, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Don't skip charring the corn, it adds so much delicious flavor to the salad!
