Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ears fresh corn
- 2 large avocado
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by shucking the corn and removing all the silk threads. Rinse the ears of corn thoroughly under cold water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the corn and let it boil for about 5 minutes to bring out the natural sweetness.
While the corn is cooking, dice the avocado and grape tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly before handling. Then, using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced avocado, grape tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to ensure even distribution of the lime dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to an hour if you prefer it chilled. Enjoy as a fresh summer dish or as a side to grilled meats.
