Ingredients
For the dressing
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 60 ml | 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
For the salad
- 2 ears of corn grilled
- 4 medium avocados sliced
- 200 g | 7oz cherry tomatoes halved
- 100 g | 3 1/2oz feta crumbled
Instructions
- Make the dressing: whisk together lime juice, dried chilli flakes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper and chopped coriander (cilantro).
- If you are using grilled corn - whether straight from the BBQ or cooker under the grill - let it cool down and then use a knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Break it up a bit and put in a bowl (a medium bowl is fine for this quantity but use a large bowl if increasing quantities). If you are using canned corn, drain well first and add to the bowl.
- Slice the avocados in half and remove the stone. Slice, skin on, and then peel the skin off. Add to the bowl with the corn.
- Slice your tomatoes with a sharp knife and add to the bowl together with the feta.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and then stir everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
- Either serve immediately or keep in the fridge, covered, until needed.

Notes
- To grill corn on the bbq (husks off), brush corn cobs with a little olive oil and cook on a hot grill for about 12-15 minutes, rotating the corn once it starts colouring.
- Instead of grilled corn you can use 1 1/2 cups of canned sweetcorn.
- Optional extras: chicken or shrimp, diced red onion.
- Leave feta out for a vegan version.
