Ingredients Needed

• Corn on the cob
• Limes
• Cumin
• Avocado
• Cherry tomatoes
• Red onion
• Cilantro

The Dressing!

I use an easy homemade lime vinaigrette – all you need to do is whisk together olive oil and salt, lime juice, cumin, and pepper. It’s really that simple and it’s the great compliment for the salad. The lime brightens the flavors and goes perfectly the corn and avocado. Bonus? It keeps the avocado from turning brown also!

3 Steps to Prepare

• Prepare the Corn – Shuck the corn and brush with olive oil and season with salt. Grill until until the corn is tender and you have great grill marks, about 10-15 minutes. Turn corn occasionally. Remove the corn from the grill and cool. Cut the kernels and place large bowl. Side Note – You can also prepare the corn in a grill pan on the stove top using the same method!
  
• Mix the dressing – Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl.
• Toss together – Add avocado, tomatoes, onion and cilantro to the bowl with corn. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine.

Make it a meal!

You may want to double (or triple!) this if you’re making it for family or friends. It’s so full of great crunch and everyone loves this salad!
