A quick and easy grilled corn salad tossed with a creamy avocado-lime vinaigrette, perfect for summer BBQs and light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of sweet corn, husked
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (omit or substitute for vegan cheese if dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Grill the husked corn directly on the grill grates, turning every 2-3 minutes until evenly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Remove corn from grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together avocado, lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño to the bowl with corn. Pour the avocado-lime vinaigrette over and toss gently to coat.
  6. Fold in crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
  7. Serve fresh as a side dish or light main course. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate, adding cheese just before serving.

Notes

Use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure for a smooth vinaigrette. Avoid overmixing the salad after adding cheese to keep texture intact. Grilling corn in advance is possible; store separately and toss with dressing before serving. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
