Grilled Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad
We had a barbeque and grill some corn-on-the-cob. We had leftover corn, so off to the internet I went.This salad was perfect summer salad.
Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad
Serves 2
1 large ear of grilled Sweet Corn, cooled
2 fresh Tomatoes
1 ripe Avocado
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tablespoon minced Fresh Basil
1/3 cup crumbled Feta Cheese or Blue Cheese
Cut corn from the cob. I use an angel food or Bundt cake pan. I put the corn end into the hole in the pan and then I cut the corn down the cob. The corn falls into the pan and not all over the kitchen.
Dice the tomatoes. I like to peel them by placing the whole tomato into boiling water until the skin feels loose. It will take about 5 minutes.
Dice the avocado. Cut the avocado in half the long way. Twist to make the two sides come apart. To remove the pit, hit the pit with a sharp knife to embed about ¼ inch of the knife blade into the pit. Twist the knife one direction and the avocado in the other direction and the pit will come free. To remove pit from the knife, push down on the pit from the dull side of the knife. Cut the flesh into dice with a knife while in still the skin, and then spoon out.
Combine the corn, tomatoes, and avocado together into a serving bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, use depending on your taste.
Toss to combine.
Sprinkle with basil and feta cheese.
**My friend likes to use Dairy Keen Ranch Dressing instead of the Oil and Vinegar
Gluten free as written, to make Dairy Free leave off the cheese.

This salad looks absolutely delicious — grilled corn adds such a nice smoky sweetness to the avocado and tomato. I am always looking for light, fresh meal ideas for warm days, so this one is going on my list for the weekend. When I need a quick break between recipes, sledrider unblocked is a handy one to keep around. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This salad looks perfect for a summer cookout. Charring the corn first really brings out the sweetness, and the avocado keeps everything creamy. I will be making this on the weekend while the grill is still hot, and if you need something fun to pass the time outdoors, have a look at the freak circus. Thanks for sharing!
This salad looks fantastic, and the grilled corn really makes it feel like summer on a plate. I almost always shoot my food photos with a phone, and sometimes a slightly degraded look actually fits these rustic recipes better than a super sharp image. I have been using a low quality image generator that intentionally lowers image quality for styling that vintage, film-like vibe, and it works great for blog headers like this one. Can't wait to try this with fresh corn from the market.
This is such a great summer salad - the grilled corn and avocado combo is unbeatable, and the squeeze of lime really makes it sing. I made it for a backyard lunch last weekend and everyone asked for the recipe. For anyone who likes collecting quick weeknight ideas like this, perceptle has been a nice place to browse inspiration.

This looks like the perfect summer side dish - grilled corn and avocado are such a great pairing, and I love how quickly it all comes together. I will definitely be making this at our next cookout. A squeeze of lime and a little cilantro really brighten it up. On hot days I like to keep things simple, enjoy something light and refreshing, then unwind with a quick game like summer rider.
