Directions
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and roast for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

While the corn cools, cut the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avocados. Add them to the salad bowl along with the mozzarella.
Step 5
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the salad bowl. If using red onion, add the thinly sliced pieces now.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 7
Add the cooled roasted corn to the salad bowl, then drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients.
Step 8
Gently toss the salad to combine, making sure the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
