Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

I came across a recipe for this grilled corn, avocado, and tomato salad with honey lime dressing from Jehan Can Cook. I love all the ingredients and flavors used so I was really excited to try it. This salad was so quick and easy to make and tasted fantastic with the green chile chicken I served it with. The dressing was delicious and the salad was filled with great textures and flavors. I will make this salad  over and over again.

Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Grilled Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad:

Ingredients:

  • 1-pint grape tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 ears of fresh sweet corn
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

How to Make Grilled Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Remove husks from corn and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes. The corn should have some brown spots and be tender and not mushy. Cut the corn off the cob then scrape the cob with the back of your knife to get the juices. Set aside and let cool. Slice the tomatoes in half. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.

Honey Lime Dressing:

  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • Dash of cayenne pepper

Combine the oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, and cayenne pepper, to taste in a small glass jar; seal with lid and shake until well combined. Set aside until needed.

Combine the sliced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and grilled corn and honey-lime dressing and mix gently so everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocados. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to let flavors mingle. Enjoy.

  2. I just made this and it was absolutly delicious! Fresh corn isn’t in season right now so I used the frozen kind. I can’t wait to try this again!!

  3. Just made this tonight with some grilled salmon. Delicious! I added a little chopped red onion to the salad. I love your blog.

  4. Fabulous! I added about a tbsp of red onion -perfect summer salad/side with grilled pork tenderloin.

  5. This salad is the best….we make it 2 times a week (i added a little chopped red onion for some crunch) and we made a HUGE batch of the dressing. We use it on everything!!! thanks for sharing.

  6. Delicious. I added chicken and some cold cubed potatoes because I had them on hand. For my taste I’d like more corn, less tomato, but it was delicious!

  7. I didn’t want to fire up the grill so I cooked my corn in the microwave then I grilled it over an open flame on top of my range. Love this salad so we will be fixing it again. 🙂

    1. I made this from the Facebook posting…it is fantastic and I told all my friends. I think you may have some new followers!

  8. We made this salad for a baby shower and it was the hit of the party!! So fresh and tasty during the hot summer months. Will definitely keep this recipe handy to bring to parties, etc!

  9. I absolutely LOVE this salad – have made it a few times already and served with pita chips as an appetizer at my Bible Study. I, however, do not care for the honey taste and, instead, use just olive oil, lime juice, s & p and cayenne for the dressing.

  10. I just made this salad for the second time…this time for a 4th of July BBQ as a side. I loved it last week when I tried it and scarfed down the leftovers for lunch the other day. Cold, fresh salads like this are perfect for summer and I love this one. Thanks!

  11. This recipe is soooo delicious! I think I could survive on this 3 meals a day! Do try this one… It’s a huge winner! Yummy…..

  12. I love this salad. To stretch it out I added pasta and turned it into a pasta salad. The dressing is to die for good.

  13. I will be making this delicious salad for a large group and would like to make just the dressing a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Is this ok, and will it still taste just as good?

    1. I’ve never had it in my fridge for a week so I am not sure how well it will taste. I would do it a few days in advance to be safe.

  14. I made this a few hours before serving. Should I leave it out or refrigerate until ready to eat?
    Thank you

    1. Denise,

      I’m sorry for the late reply! I’ve been on vacation. I would leave it out but refrigerating it would also be fine. I hope you enjoyed the salad.

  15. We decided to make this for dinner before we realized we would need to roast the corn. We googled how to do it in cast iron on the stove top, and we’re so glad we did it. The salad was super delicious!! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing it.

    1. Carrie,

      I’m so happy you enjoyed this salad! Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
