Steps:
- Remove husks from corn and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes. The corn should have some brown spots and be tender and not mushy. Cut the corn off the cob then scrape the cob with the back of your knife to get the juices. Set aside and let cool. Slice the tomatoes in half. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro. HONEY LIME DRESSING 1. Add all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. 2. Combine the sliced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and grilled corn and honey lime dressing and mix gently so everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocados. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to let flavors mingle.
Tips:
- Choose the ripest avocados. Avocados should be slightly soft to the touch and have a deep green or blackish-purple color. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown or black spots.
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better texture than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Grill the corn properly. To get the best flavor, grill the corn over medium-high heat until it is slightly charred and tender. You can also roast the corn in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes. This will give the salad more flavor and color. You can use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, or any other type of tomato that you like.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, will add a pop of flavor to the salad. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This tomato, avocado, and grilled corn salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy and light salad or a more substantial dish, this salad is sure to please everyone.
