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.

Steps:
- Combine the salad ingredients in a serving bowl. In a small bowl, mix the dressing ingredients, then pour over the salad and mix together gently.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for a great-tasting salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before adding it to the salad.
- Avocado should be ripe but firm. If the avocado is too ripe, it will be mushy and difficult to slice. If the avocado is too hard, it will be difficult to peel and slice.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will add flavor and depth to your salad. Some good options include cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is a best enjoyed fresh. The avocado will start to brown after a few hours, so it's best to eat the salad as soon as it's made.
Conclusion:
This tomato, corn, and avocado salad is a fresh, flavorful, and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
