Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ears Fresh corn on the cob (husks removed)
- 2 cups Cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1 large Avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the ears of corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Once cool, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the grilled corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
