Indulge in the vibrant flavors of summer with our refreshing Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad. This delightful dish bursts with the natural sweetness of corn, the creamy richness of avocado, and the tangy bite of tomatoes, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Tossed in a zesty dressing of lime juice, cilantro, and a hint of chili powder, this salad is a symphony of textures and tastes that will tantalize your palate.
Accompanying this main recipe are two equally enticing variations: a Mexican Corn Salad and a Grilled Corn Salad. The Mexican Corn Salad introduces a zesty twist with the addition of roasted poblano peppers, black beans, and a creamy chipotle dressing. On the other hand, the Grilled Corn Salad offers a smoky and charred flavor profile, thanks to the grilling of the corn kernels. Both variations bring unique dimensions to the classic combination of corn, avocado, and tomatoes, making them perfect for any occasion.

Steps:
- Remove husks from corn and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes. The corn should have some brown spots and be tender and not mushy. Cut the corn off the cob then scrape the cob with the back of your knife to get the juices. Set aside and let cool. Slice the tomatoes in half. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro. HONEY LIME DRESSING 1. Add all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. 2. Combine the sliced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and grilled corn and honey lime dressing and mix gently so everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocados. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to let flavors mingle.
CORN, AVOCADO, AND TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- Place corn in a large bowl. Add avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir the vinaigrette into the salad and serve. Serves 4 to 6. **COOK's NOTES: I was in a rush, so I used two cans of mexi corn, but I'm sure fresh would be better. I also didn't make the dressing separately and instead drizzled the olive oil and squeezed half a lime over this. That did mean that I had to add the avocado last so it wouldn't get crushed when I tossed the salad.

- Add the corn, avocado, tomatoes, and onion and toss to mix. Serve at room temperature. Serves 4 to 6. Tips: Choose ears of corn with bright green husks that are tightly closed. The ends of the corn silk should be golden brown, not pale -- an indication that the corn was picked too early.
