Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Believe it or not, I came across this refreshing salad recipe from a radio station on Facebook – Magic Columbus!

To me, sweet corn just screams summer – and this light salad has the perfect blend of summer flavors, from fresh cilantro to a punch of honey lime dressing to top it off.

I’d love to hear if you whip up this recipe come summertime!

Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

INGREDIENTS:

1 pint grape tomatoes

1 ripe avocado

2 ears of fresh sweet corn

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

HONEY LIME DRESSING:

Juice of 1 lime

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp honey

Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

1 clove garlic, minced

Dash of cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS:

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.
