This fresh corn salad is a perfect addition to summer! Use it as a corn salad or corn salsa. It’s amazing as a side dish, an addition to burrito bowls, with chips, or spooned over fish or grilled chicken! (Gluten free, vegan)

Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE FRESH CORN SALAD:

  • 3 cups fresh corn, cooked and cut off the cobb (3–4 ears of corn)
  • 1 1/2 cups halved baby tomatoes (or quartered, if large)
  • 1/4 cup finely minced red onion
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro, minced

FOR THE CHILI-LIME DRESSING:

  • 3–4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt (more or less, to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper (more or less, to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium or large bowl, mix up your dressing by whisking together lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
  2. Add corn, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and cilantro.
  3. Gently stir to combine and coat well with the dressing.
  4. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep about 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

VARIATIONS – PLAY WITH IT! 

  • Add a little kick! Try adding a little jalapeño, green chiles, or a tiny sprinkle of chipotle chili powder for some kick.
  • Fill it out. Mix in some black beans or diced bell peppers to fill it out even more.
  • Fire up the grill. Try grilling your corn–it adds great flavor!
  • Switch out your onions. Try caramelized your onions or swapping in green onions in place of fresh red onion.
  • Add a street corn vibe. Sprinkle a little cotija cheese on top (it’ll have a bit of a street corn vibe!)
  • Take it another direction. Why not swap the cilantro for some fresh basil? It’s delicious!
  • Use a flavored olive oil–I love using flavored olive oils, like Mexican Lime olive oil or a few drops of jalapeño olive oil. (The jalapeño is hot! Start small!)
