  • olive oil for grilling

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Husk the corn and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender. Allow to cool before cutting kernels off the cob.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Dressing
  1. Squeeze the juice of two fresh limes over the salad and add salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For added spice, you can include diced jalapeños. Use fresh corn if possible, or substitute with thawed frozen corn if in a hurry. Avoid over-mixing to maintain avocado chunks intact.
