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.

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.

Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cooked corn
1 avocado, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 pint halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp lime zest
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

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.
