Grilled Corn Salad

Easy Grilled Corn Salad Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Grilled Corn Tomato and Avocado Salad: 3 large ears of corn, butter, salt, one avocado, cherry tomatoes and diced red onion or shallots.
• For the homemade honey lime dressing you'll need: Olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper to taste and chopped fresh cilantro.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A sharp knife and chopping board, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons a whisk, either an outdoor grill or a grill pan if making indoors.
• This grilled corn salad can be served as a side dish to accompany your favorite South of the border meal.
• Enjoy as a dip with tortilla chips, a topping for tacos, fajitas or as a condiment on top of a grilled steak or chicken salad.
• This recipe easily doubles or triples if you're feeding a crowd.
• Due to the fact that avocado oxidizes quickly, it's best to add it just before serving, if making in advance.
• This salad can be served at room temperature or chilled. Again, if making in advance, just add the avocado before serving.
• I serve this fresh salad as a dip, on taco salads and as a condiment for grilled chicken or pork. You can also enjoy this as a side dish salad with any of your favorite grilled entrees.
• Store leftover Grilled Corn Salad chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. All of the ingredients will do well apart from the avocado. If storing, consider removing the avocado and eating it fresh!

Ingredients

• 3 large ears corn husks removed
• 1 tablespoon butter melted
• salt to taste
• 1 medium Haas avocado peeled & cubed [just before adding to the salad]
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
• ½ cup red onion or shallots small dice

• ½-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

• Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Grill over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning for even browning. Use a sharp knife to remove the kernels from the cob. Set aside to cool slightly.
• To make the dressing: In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice and honey until slightly thickened. Add garlic salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Begin with ½ teaspoon of garlic salt and red pepper flakes, then taste and adjust to your preference. Mix in cilantro at the end.

• If serving immediately: Toss all of the ingredients together with dressing and serve at room temperature.
