Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn (grilled or boiled)

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Start by cooking fresh corn on the cob. Grill it for a smoky flavor or boil it for sweetness and tenderness. Once cooked, allow the corn to cool, then carefully cut the kernels off the cob.
  2. Chop the Fresh Herbs and Vegetables: Roughly chop a combination of fresh parsley, cilantro, and basil. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely slice the red onion for a subtle crunch.
  3. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. This simple dressing enhances all the fresh ingredients without overpowering them.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently toss the corn kernels, chopped herbs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the top and fold everything carefully to distribute the flavors evenly without mashing the avocado.
  5. Final Taste and Adjustments: Taste the salad and add more lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed. Let the salad rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh and ripe ingredients, especially for avocado and herbs, for the best flavor.
  • Gently toss to keep avocado pieces intact and avoid mushiness.
  • For extra smoky depth, lightly char corn on a grill or stovetop griddle.
  • Chill the salad in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to marry the flavors and refresh the dish.
  • Add lime juice gradually to adjust brightness to your taste.
