A refreshing, smoky, and vibrant summer salad featuring charred corn, fresh avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, topped with a zesty lime dressing. This colorful dish is perfect as a side or light main for warm weather meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Char the Corn:
    • Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
    • Brush the corn lightly with olive oil and place it on the grill.
    • Cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and slightly smoky, about 8–10 minutes.
    • Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
  2. Prepare the Salad Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the charred corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
  3. Make the Dressing:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
    • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Salad:
    • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
    • Sprinkle with crumbled feta or cotija cheese if using.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy immediately as a refreshing summer side dish or light main course.

Notes

  • The recipe can be easily customized by adding or substituting ingredients such as bell peppers, cucumber, or red chili for extra flavor.
  • The cheese is optional, but it adds a nice creamy texture and tangy flavor to the salad.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
