If you love the crunch of fresh corn you are going to love this salad! It’s surprising how delicious corn is when left in it’s crunchy natural state!
WHY WE LOVE THIS FRESH CORN SALAD WITH AVOCADO!
- No cooking
- no fussy gadgets to use
- a simple vinaigrette
- picnic friendly with no mayo base to worry about
- Fresh, fresh, fresh!
Loving the addition of a poblano pepper to this salad! If you haven’t tried these beauties yet, this is a great recipe to give it a go! It is our new favorite veggie! If you remove the seeds and veins, which is where the heat lives, you are left with something that has just a slight kick. Like a jacked up green pepper. But if you don’t want any heat, simply toss in a green bell pepper or do you need MORE heat? Make it a minced jalapeño!
HOW TO REMOVE CORN FROM A COBB WITHOUT A MESS!
Simply place a small bowl, like a ramekin, inside a large bowl. Place the flat end of your corn on top of the ramekin. Using your best serrated knife simply run it down the corn. No mess and everything is in the bowl where you need it to be!
WHAT OTHER VEGGIES COULD WE STUFF INTO THIS CORN SALAD WITH AVOCADO?
The list is endless but here are a few ideas:
- zucchini
- carrots
- broccoli florets
- roasted sweet potato cubes
- asparagus
HOW TO MAKE HONEY LIME VINAIGRETTE!
The beauty of the vinaigrette is it keeps your avocado’s green and your corn all crunchy. It tastes delicious and comes together in a couple minutes!
Simply toss all the ingredients into a jar, shake, shake, shake and pour! You may not need all the dressing…it’s up to you!

Wow this looks delish. I love that you’ve used fresh corn rather than the tinned kind! Our local farm hasn’t got fresh corn in season yet. I’ll have to pin this for the coming months when they do 🙂
