This Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad is a fresh and light side dish perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. Grill the corn for a little extra something special. It's a fresh and light side dish that screams summer!
Combine the cooked corn (see note on how to cook), tomatoes and onion in a large glass bowl. Mix together the dressing ingredients in another bowl, pour over the salad, and gently toss to mix. Chill salad for an hour or two to let flavors blend. Add avocados right before serving so they don't brown. Adding a squirt of lime directly to them will help them not brown.
Notes
Fresh corn is really best to use here.
There are many ways that you can cook corn and here are the ways how:
Bring a pot of water to boiling and boil the corn for 3-5 minutes.
Grill the corn over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes.
Keep the corn in its husk and microwave for 3-5 minutes. It steams the corn.
Cut the corn off the cob and saute in a pan with a little oil for 3-5 minutes.
