Description
A vibrant, flavorful dish that combines the classic taste of Mexican street corn with fresh salad ingredients, packed with nutrients and perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the corn. If using fresh corn, grill or boil it and cut the kernels off the cob. For frozen corn, cook according to package instructions. For canned corn, drain and rinse thoroughly.

- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, grill the corn until slightly charred. Add black beans or chickpeas for extra protein, and adjust chili powder for spice preference.
