Corn Salad with Avocado: Fresh and Zesty Recipe

Print Recipe

A vibrant, fresh, and zesty Corn Salad with Avocado featuring sweet corn, creamy avocado, and a tangy lime dressing. Perfect for summer barbecues, picnics, or a healthy light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh corn and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and allow to cool completely. (If using frozen corn, thaw and drain).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad and give it one final gentle toss. Adjust seasoning with extra lime or salt if desired.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To save time, you can use canned corn (drained) or frozen corn (thawed).
  • Add a pinch of chili powder or cumin for a smoky flavor profile.
  • Wait to add the avocado until just before serving to prevent it from browning.
  • This salad pairs excellently with grilled chicken or fish.
