Best 6 Corn Avocado And Cucumber Salad Recipes

CORN TOMATO AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Steam corn in steamer or microwave (or you can grill or boil) until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Let it cool then transfer to a large bowl.
• Toss all the remaining ingredients together and serve immediately.

CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

CORN-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a large bowl. Add 1/2 thinly sliced red onion and toss; let sit, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Brush 4 ears corn with vegetable oil and grill over medium-high heat until charred, 8 minutes. Let cool, then cut off the kernels. Add to the onion along with 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 diced avocado and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

CORN, AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine diced onion, lime juice and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Let macerate for 5 minutes, then whisk in olive oil and toasted cumin. Add corn kernels and a pinch of salt, and toss to coat.
• Cut avocados in thick slices and divide among 4 plates, arranging them in a random pattern. Top with the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Surround with sprigs of purslane.
• To serve, spoon a quarter of the corn and juices over each salad. Garnish with mint, queso fresco and red pepper.

CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
• Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
• When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
• Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
• Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.

CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Saute bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red bell pepper, green onions and corn, and mix together. Carefully stir in the cubed avocado.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine and vinegar dressing, the blue cheese dressing, and the honey.
• Pour the dressing mixture over the salad and toss. Add bacon just before serving to keep it crunchy.
