Ingredients
Avocado Corn Salad
- 2 avocados peeled and diced
- 4 ears of corn husks and silk removed
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 Jalapeño seeds and vein removed and finely diced
- 1/2 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted pepitas toasted
Honey Lime Vinaigrette
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400° F. Rub the corn with a little olive oil and sprinkle on salt. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning it every few minutes so it cooks evenly. Remove from the grill and let it cool for several minutes before cutting the kernels off.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a measuring glass or small bowl.
- In a serving bowl, add all of the ingredients for the salad and pour the vinaigrette over the top of them. Gently toss the salad together with spoons until everything is coated in the vinaigrette. Taste for seasoning and serve.
