Ingredients
- 3 ears fresh corn
- 2 large avocado
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by shucking the corn and removing all the silk threads. Rinse the ears of corn thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the corn and let it boil for about 5 minutes to bring out the natural sweetness.
Step 3
While the corn is cooking, dice the avocado and grape tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Step 4
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly before handling. Then, using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add the diced avocado, grape tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the corn.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to ensure even distribution of the lime dressing.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for up to an hour if you prefer it chilled. Enjoy as a fresh summer dish or as a side to grilled meats.
