Ingredients

  • 5 ears fresh sweet corn husks and silks removed
  • 8 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 medium avocados ripe but not mushy, diced into small pieces
  • ½ red bell pepper diced small (or 1 Roma tomato, diced small)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice or to taste
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely minced
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Drizzle the corn with about 3 tablespoons olive oil and rub it in evenly over the corn.
  3. Place the corn on the grill and grill for about 7 to 8 minutes, turning the ears every minute or two by one-quarter turn, or as needed so that corn is cooking evenly but isn't burning. Exact cooking time will depend on your grill and its heat output; grill as long as necessary given your grill.
  4. After corn is cooked, cut the corn off the ears with a sharp knife and place into a large bowl.
  5. Add the remaining olive oil (about 5 tablespoons), the avocado, bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, stir to combine, and taste.
  6. If desired, add additional salt, pepper, etc.; or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, or add any of the suggestions given in the blog post. Serve salad immediately.

Notes

  • Salad will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days, noting the avocado will oxidize as time passes. I don't recommend freezing this salad.
