Ingredients

Salad

  • 3 to 4 ears corn on the cob, roasted, kernels cut off
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 to 3 small cucumbers, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 large avocado, diced

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (about 1 to 2 limes)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Roast the corn (grill, oven, skillet, or air fryer) until lightly charred, then let cool slightly and cut the kernels off the cob.
  • Add the corn to a large bowl with the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Fold in the diced avocado, taste and adjust the salt and lime, then serve.

Notes

  • Add the avocado just before serving so it stays fresh and green. Roast the corn ahead to make assembly fast. In a pinch, char frozen or canned corn in a hot skillet.
  • If you want to add some cheese, i'd recommend feta!
