Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
Dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Start by charring or grilling your corn. Rub the four corn ears with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place the corn on a grill grate over high heat, and char on all sides. This should take 2-5 minutes on each side.
- Chop 2 ripe avocados into small bite-sized cubes, cut 1 pint of cherry tomatoes in half, chop up the red bell pepper, and chop up half a bunch of cilantro. Add all of this to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Slice the charred corn off the cob and place it in the mixing bowl. Add 1/2 tsp fine sea salt and 1/2 tsp ground pepper. Stir the salad to combine.
- Whisk the dressing in a small bowl: 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 limes juiced, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to cover it evenly. Serve immediately.
