It’s almost corn season! and I am sure your local grocery store or farmer’s market is probably stocked with plenty of fresh corn. So make sure to pick the best sweet corn with bright green husks and a fresh stalk. This avocado corn salad recipe is easy, flavorful, and satisfying and can be made in minutes. I have made a dressing using fresh lime juice, olive oil, and herbs, but you can add your favorite dressing. Once you’ve tried this recipe, I bet you’ll make it again and again for your next potluck, picnics, and backyard barbecue. I generally use leftover cooked corn in my sweet corn soup, corn fried rice, spinach corn sandwich, and corn sundal.
Ingredients
Avocado: Use good quality ripened avocado to make this salad otherwise, it will taste bad. I used 1 Hass Avocado. Corn: You’ll need about 2 medium ears of corn. I prefer making this salad with corn cut from the boiled corn on the cob, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. I also like using Trader Joe’s frozen roasted corn in this recipe. Garlic: I have used fresh minced garlic. Tomatoes: I used grape tomatoes, but you can also use Roma tomatoes (de-seeded & diced). Onion: red onion works best in salads, so that’s what I used. Herbs: I used cilantro, but feel free to use parsley or other fresh herbs you have. Olive oil: extra virgin works best. Lime juice: I used the juice of one whole lime. Feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference. Seasoning: salt, chili flakes, or black pepper
Next, How do I cook the corn? You can do it two ways!
How to Make Avocado Corn Salad
In a small jar, whisk the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, chili flakes (or pepper), and olive oil until well combined. Set aside. Chop all your veggies, removing any seeds/skin/stems needed. Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. That’s it! Serve it right away.
