Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 cups fresh or grilled corn kernels
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cook by boiling or grilling until tender with slight charring for enhanced flavor. Let it cool, then slice the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
  2. Chop the Produce: Dice the ripe avocados into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and your choice of fresh herbs. Add all to the bowl with the corn.
  3. Crumble the Feta: Gently crumble the feta cheese over the veggies, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a bright, balanced dressing.
  5. Toss and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure for creamiest texture.
  • Taste and adjust salt and lime juice to your preference before serving.
  • Toss avocado immediately with lime juice to prevent browning.
  • Grill corn for extra smoky flavor that complements the feta.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor combination.
