Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears sweet white corn, husked
8 ounces canned white beans, rinsed and drained
½ red bell pepper, chopped
1 Roma tomato, chopped
3 leaves fresh spinach, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon Gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

I was disappointed with this salad. The grilled corn was bland and the dressing was too sweet. I would not recommend this salad.

This salad is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love the combination of the grilled corn, tomatoes, and avocado. I will definitely be making this salad again this summer.

This salad was a huge hit at my last party! The grilled corn added a delicious smoky flavor, and the combination of the sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado was perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again and again this summer.
