Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1.5 cups shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 avocado, diced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and spread the corn kernels in an even layer. Roast the corn for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels begin to char slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
If using frozen edamame, cook it according to the package instructions (usually boiling for 3-5 minutes), then drain and let it cool.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, cooked edamame, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and diced avocado.
Step 5
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, white wine vinegar, honey, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
Step 7
Optional: Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Step 8
Serve the salad as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
