Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad

This recipe (adapted from this website) makes a HUGE amount, so it's great for parties and whatnot... but if it's just one or two people in the house, I would recommend cutting the recipe in half. I would consider this more of a side dish or a snack, rather than a meal by itself (like stir-fry).


We ate it with grilled chicken, and then tried it with some corn chips. It makes a pretty good dip, but it's chunky - so don't expect it to be liquidy like salsa.

1 can of corn, sauteed
2 avocado’s, diced and sprinkled with lemon juice to prevent browning
2 cups of red tomatoes
1 small red onion, finely diced
¾ cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 ½ cup of cucumber, skin on and chopped small dice

Add to a large bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Cilantro Vinaigrette

6 Tbsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Garlic powder
2 Tbsp. Fresh cilantro, minced
½ t. Salt
10 Grinds of fresh ground pepper

Add all of the above ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as you desire. When ready to serve salad, add the dressing and gently toss.
