Ingredients

Servings

For the salad

  • 4 ears yellow corn shucked
  • 3 large avocado ripe, peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese diced into small cubes
  • 6 trips Bacon thick cut, cooked and chopped
  • 3 green onion sliced
  • 1/2 large red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • basil fresh, for garnish

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 lime juiced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk the ingredients together for the dressing in a small bowl and place in the fridge.
  2. Remove the husks from the corn. Cut the corn kernels from the corn and transfer the corn to a large salad bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss to combine.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with the dressing.

Notes

  • You can eat the corn right off the cob, no need to cook prior! It's crisp and fresh and so good! But, you can boil, grill or bake before adding to the salad, if you prefer. 
  • How to cut corn off the cob: I like to invert a small bowl into a large bowl so the smaller bowl serves as a base for the ear of corn to rest on while you cut. Use a sharp knife to slice downward on the corn and rotate and cut until all the corn has fallen into the bowl! I've seen some people use a bundt pan to cut the corn by placing it on the middle section of the pan. But this 2 bowl method works just as fine!
  • Keep up to 3 days in the fridge stored in an air-tight container. Keep the dressing on the side if you plan to have leftovers.
