Ingredients
- 2 ears Fresh corn on the cob (husks removed)
- 2 cups Cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1 large Avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush the ears of corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
Step 3
Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Once cool, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the grilled corn.
Step 5
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 6
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
