Description
This Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad is a vibrant and flavorful dish, combining the sweetness of corn with creamy avocado and tangy feta, perfect for a summer meal.
Ingredients
Units
- 6 ears corn (or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If using fresh corn, grill the ears until charred and cooked through, then cut the kernels off the cob.
- If using frozen corn, sauté in a pan with olive oil, cumin, and cayenne pepper until heated through and slightly charred.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn, diced avocados, feta cheese, and cilantro.
- Squeeze lime juice over the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, use frozen fire-roasted corn. If using regular frozen corn, add cumin and cayenne for extra flavor. Leftovers keep well, but add avocado and feta just before serving to maintain freshness.
