This avocado corn salad is a favorite of my husband and a great summer dish with fresh-from-the-field corn.
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn in husks
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium avocados, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place ears of corn in a microwave with husks still on and cook on high power until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 2
Combine tomatoes and avocados in a large mixing bowl. Remove corn and cut kernels from cobs into the bowl. Add cilantro and mix together.
Step 3
Mix oil, honey, lime juice, garlic, cayenne, and black pepper together and pour over vegetable mixture. Toss and serve.
Cook’s Note:
You can use frozen corn if you don't want to deal with cooking and cutting.
