Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 ears of corn, cooked, shucked and cut off the cob
  • 2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (about 1/2 small bunch)

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
  • 1 tsp sea salt (or 3/4 tsp table salt)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the halved or quartered cherry tomatoes, cooked corn kernels removed from the cob, sliced avocados, thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and pressed or minced garlic cloves.
  2. Add dressing and season: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 to 3 tablespoons of lime juice over the salad, adjusting lime juice amount to your desired taste. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper over the mixture.
  3. Toss gently and serve: Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the avocados. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn that has been cooked (boiled or grilled) before cutting off the cob for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust lime juice and salt quantities according to your taste preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh; avocado may brown if left too long.
  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of cumin for extra flavor.
  • To make it vegan and vegetarian-friendly, ensure the olive oil is extra virgin and fresh.
