Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the corn and red onion wedges with olive oil, then season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Grill the corn for 8–10 minutes, turning often, until bright yellow and lightly charred in spots.
  4. Grill the red onion wedges for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until softened and lightly charred.
  5. Let the corn cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cobs in large chunks.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Add the grilled corn, grilled red onion, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro to a large serving bowl.
  8. Pour the lime dressing over the salad.
  9. Gently toss until everything is coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  10. Serve right away with extra cilantro and black pepper on top.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the corn and onions in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
