Corn Tomato Avocado Salad
Description
The Corn Tomato Avocado Salad integrates cooked or thawed corn kernels with ripe cherry tomatoes, cubed avocado, and red onion, mixed in a dressing of olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. This combination provides a refreshing contrast of flavors and textures, from the juicy sweetness of the tomatoes and corn to the smooth avocado and the crunch of onion.
The salad is gently tossed to maintain the integrity of the avocado and tomatoes, ensuring a balance of flavors without mashing the softer ingredients. The lime juice adds acidity that brightens the overall taste, while cilantro provides an herbaceous note, complementing the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
This salad serves well as a side dish during warm weather or as a light, healthy addition to meals. Its ingredients can be adjusted to taste, considering ingredient ripeness and personal preferences, making it adaptable.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and consumed within 24 hours to maintain freshness, especially because avocado browns quickly. Ingredients and proportions are guidelines, allowing room for variation.
Ingredients
- 2 corn cooked and shucked, or about 1 ½ cups frozen and thawed, on the cob
- 1 pint cherry tomato halved
- 1 avocado diced into ½-inch pieces
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Place the corn, tomatoes, avocado, and onion on top. Toss gently to combine.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours due to avocado browning.
- Adjust ingredient quantities and seasoning to taste for personalization.
