Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh corn on the cob
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 Lime
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Avocado
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Husk the corn and remove any remaining silk strands.
Lightly brush each ear of corn with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and cooked through.
While the corn is grilling, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber (if it has tough skin, peel it beforehand).
Finely dice the red onion and roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves.
Once the corn has cooled slightly, carefully slice the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
Juice the limes and pour the juice over the salad.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Dice the avocado and add it to the salad, folding gently to incorporate without mashing the avocado pieces.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Serve the salad immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to one hour before serving for improved flavors.
