Ingredients for Summer Corn Salad with Avocado:
This corn salad is loaded with all the best ingredients of summer. P.S. Do not skip the garlic, the dressing will mellow it out and it gives every bite irresistible flavor. This recipe has a short list of ingredients but it really doesn’t need anything more. It is an easy, excellent salad.
How to Cook Corn on the Cob:
There are several methods of cooking corn and all of them will work for this corn salad. We used grilled corn in this recipe because grilling gives it a smokey sweetness that is completely irresistible.
- How to grill corn on the cob: Grilling corn in husks is easy. We pre-soak the corn with the husks on and then place them directly on the grill for 18-20 minutes on med/high heat rotating every 5 minutes. You can also grill corn in foil if you don’t have time to soak the corn.
- How to bake corn on the cob: Place husks directly on the center oven rack and bake at 350˚F for 30 minutes. No need to soak the corn.
- How to boil corn on the cob: This is the quickest method. Place the shucked corn in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil and add sugar (yes sugar!) then boil 15 minutes. Click here for boiled corn recipe.
Can I substitute with Fresh corn with Frozen Corn?
Yes! When corn is out of season, it is ok to use frozen corn. Canned corn will also work when you aren’t able to find fresh or frozen, but frozen is the better substitute. Sometimes it is even easier to find organic corn when it is frozen. Follow the package instructions to prepare frozen corn.

Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe 
Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Hi Natashia love your recipes
Hi Elvira, great to hear that you are enjoying my recipes!
Hi Natasha, I will definitely try this recipe. It has all my favorites. My only concern was will the avocado keep its color and not turn brown if it is kept in the fridge for a few hours before serving? Thanks for all your recipes they are wonderful and I very much enjoy your videos.
Hi there, that sounds like a good plan. I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day.
Cut the avocado in cubes and keep it separately of the rest of the ingredients, put the seed of the avocado in the middle of the cubes, add the cubes only before serving. That keeps the avocado green since it prevent it from the oxidation.
Old trick used widely in Southamerica.
Thank you Natasha. I’m late to the party here but count me in as an enthusiastic proponent of this recipe. I recently made it for a small but special party where each guest brought a menu item. Someone else wanted to bring the salad but I insisted, “No! I am preparing the salad and I guarantee you will love it!” And oh yes, did they ever. The main course that evening was cold poached salmon and it all went so well together on the plate and palate. I used the recipe ingredients and amounts exactly as written by Natasha. My little tomatoes were half red and half yellow. Absolutely perfect. When I made this corn avocado salad another time I added a few fresh from the garden radishes sliced very, very thin. I thought they added a nice crunch and a little extra zing but did not appreciably alter the taste of the salad.
Yum! That sounds like an amazing dinner! I bet this was so great paired with the salmon! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
How many cups of frozen corn if substituting for the 3 roasted cobs?
Hi Jan, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work. There are about two ears of corn packed into a can of corn.
The Corn Salad was very good but next time I make it I won’t put in so much onion
Hi Brenda, we love onion, but you might also consider using a sweet vidalia onion or red onion which are less potent than yellow onion. Even chives would work here.
Looking to make this for next family get together. Can I use frozen corn or corn from can ?
Hi Irma, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work. There are about two ears of corn packed into a can of corn.
I love this recipe! I also add a can of black beans, tail off shrimp AND one of my avocados was bad so I added 2 little containers of Kirkland Organic Guacamole from Costco with 1 avocado and boy was this delicious!! The guacamole really took it to an even better level. This is dinner tonite! Tge shrimp and beans had some protein and make a heartier meal.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Randi! I’m so glad it worked out well with those substitutions and additions!
Absolutely delicious!!! We are not fans of cilantro so we have made without. Would you suggest any different green?
Hi Mary, dill works well with this salad also, or chives.
I want to make this salad for a party this weekend. We need to travel an hour for the party…do I need to worry about the avocado turning brown?
Hi Tracy, If the avocado has dressing on it it will be fine. If serving separately I recommend spraying some lemon juice over it to protect it.
My husband and I made this today…it was excellent
Grilling the corn was perfect
I sliced two big pieces of red onion, brushed with olive oil and he grilled that as well Chopped and added to salad…delicious
For me this just needed a little extra salt and only two tablespoons of fresh lime juice
Excellent recipe…thank you Natasha…your recipes are always easy to follow and yummy
Hello Joan, thanks for sharing your experience making this recipe, and good to know that it was a hit! That’s a good addition to the recipe, feel free to change it up a bit according to your personal preference.
I made this for the first time today and love how easily it comes together. I did add a little cayenne to give it a bit of heat. I think a sprinkle of Tajin would’ve been awesome as well; but I had just run out.
We love easy recipes! I’m so glad you do too! Thank you for sharing this great review and comment with me, Sandy!
Delicious and healthy. I just added some jalapeño because i had a bit left. It gave it a great kick but didn’t’ overwhelm the salad. I’ll be sure to make it again.
Oh, I bet this is so good with jalapeños! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Maria!
The Avocado Corn Salad is absolutely a 5⭐️ yummy! I followed the recipe (except I used half of small white onion).
Next time, I will halve the recipe, because we are empty nesters. I’m curious, as to how long the avocado will hold up, when the leftovers are refrigerated. I tossed the avocado in the lime juice, before adding in the other ingredients, in hopes of prolonging their freshness.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Pepper! I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day.
It was the hit of the party!!!
So easy to make and absolutely delicious. I’m always looking for recipes to use up the left over corn on the cob. This one checks all the boxes.
I followed the basic recipe for the ingredients; adding more of some and less of others. Can’t go wrong with this recipe!
Thanks for your review, Cynthia. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
I made this for the first time today for a family cookout. I was a bit nervous how it would turn out but it was delicious! It is easy to make and isn’t very time consuming which I like. I’ll be making it again tomorrow for another cookout.
We love quick and easy reacipes! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Kendra!
I’ve made this several times now and it’s great! Really good with crumbled crispy bacon too
That’s awesome, Ella! I bet this is so good with bacon!
Made this salad today to see how it tastes before making it for my family this weekend and it is DELICIOSO😋😋😋. My avocado and corn loving sisters are going to love this. Thank you for a fresh delicious salad.
You’re welcome, Rosa! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad this was a hit!
Making this for a bbq this weekend! So excited to try this recipe
Sounds great, Debbie. I hope everyone will love it!
Making it for tomorrow’s BBQ with the family, can’t wait to eat it. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Lori. That sounds like a great plan! I hope it becomes a hit.
So very good. Didn’t use all of the tomatoes but added some black beans. Used roasted corn, garlic infused olive oil and skipped cilantro. Def will make again.
That sounds delicious with beans! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
I haven’t made this yet, but LadySam I really like your additions 😉 I’m one of those people who just can’t eat cilantro without a weird taste. I’ll be heading to the store to make this today!
Loved this recipe. It was so fresh! What is the suggested serving size? 1/2 cup?
Hi Scarlett, this recipe serves 6 as a side. 1/6th of the recipe would be the serving size. I wish I measured it by cup for you. I hope this helps.
DELISH summer side! We are bringing this dish to a friend’s dinner party tonight as a side with cod croquettes. Pure YUM
Sounds like a great plan. I hope it becomes a hit!
I am so happy with your recipe. I love the Avocado Chicken Salad with corn. this is so nice. My family love it.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Monica!
I’ve been wanting to make this since the first time I saw it. Served it tonight with cilantro lime chicken thighs and white rice. It was wonderful…easy to put together and so flavorful! My teenage boys really liked it and took such big helpings I almost didn’t get any! Will make this again and again.
Hello Sharon, that is a great review and feedback. Thank you for sharing that with us! I’m happy to know that your family enjoyed this recipe.
Going to make this ahead as everyone has said it is just as good as the first day. Only question is do you make it with the avocados in it as well … don’t they brown ahead of time? Thanks!
Hi Gita, This salad contains lemon which will preserve the avocado for a bit longer allowing the avocado to stay green.
I LOVE this recipe and we made it soooo many times last summer, making it tonight for Hubby’s Birthday. But it does NOT contain lemon, you have lime in the recipe. LOL
Oh dear, I meant to say lime, not lemon, but thankfully they are really interchangeable in this recipe.
Can I substitute for cilantro I just do not like it.
Hello Cindy, you could try adding fresh parsley to taste. I think fresh dill would taste great also in place of cilantro.
Fabulous salad. I added cooked shrimp and elevated it even further. Definitely a keeper!!!
Thank you so much for your nice comments and feedback, Janet. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I make the avocado corn salad all the time but not enough. I add shrimp to make it a meal.
Yum! Great idea! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
What a great salad to serve at a bbq! I prepare it in the morning so it deepens in flavor. Everybody loves it and it’s healthy and delicious. Dennis your other recipes as well!!👏
Perfect for a BBQ! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can I make this salad ahead of time? Like a few hours before the party. Thank you!
Hi Wei, making it ahead will work; I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day.
I made this today, but I only put in half the cilantro.
Good and healthier than fries.
Al
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight, so very yummy!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Pam!
Will this recipe keep if I make this a day ahead and add the avocado just before serving? Also, could I add Israeli couscous to this salad to bulk it up a bit? If so – would you recommend adding in addition to the stated ingredient amounts, or sub in for part of the corn? Thanks!
Hi Margaret, making it ahead will work; I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day. I haven’t tested making this with couscous to advise on the outcome. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
Saw it this morning and made it fresh as a side for fresh hamburger dinner. We even have one picky vegetable eater. Salad is delicius, we all love it. Thank you for the idea and video 🙂
You’re welcome, Olga! I’m glad the video was helpful!
This corn salad is fantastic, I made it recently and ,OMG, I was blown away that it actually tasted so good. BTW, I’m a big fan of your work. Thanks for sharing this.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
This is a good salad recipe to try. How long will the salad last or hold before turning brown? I would like to make it for meal prep.
Thanks
Hi Ina, I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day.
I have made this a few times and made it again as part of my dinner this evening, it is delicious and I highly recommend trying this recipe. Natasha never fails to put out a great recipe!
Love it! Thank you for your great review and recommendation, Danielle. We appreciate it.
Wondering how it would be if I left out the cilantro? Many have a love/hate affair with that ingredient.
Hi Lynda, you could try adding fresh parsley to taste. I think fresh dill would taste great also in place of cilantro.
love this! my family gobbled it up fast
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
The best salad ever! Aways goes first. Thank you for the recipe.
Do you have any Napa cabbage salad recipe? Thanks.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying this salad, Nataliya! That’s so great! I do not at this time, but that’s a great suggestion, thank you!
Sounds delicious! If I use sweet canned corn can I use it straight from the can, or do you suggest cooking it?
Hi Beth, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work. There are about two ears of corn packed into a can of corn.`
How soon before my potluck should I make this? How long does it last in the fridge before avacodos begin turning brown?
Looks delicious!
Hi Sheila, I had our leftovers in the fridge for 2 days, and it was as good as the first day.
It was yummy! I made it and everyone loved it!
I’m so happy to hear that, Jasleen! Thank you for sharing that with me.
Hi, if I use canned corn how many cans should I use.
Thanks 🙂
Hi Norma, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work. There are about two ears of corn packed into a can of corn.
Sounds delicious and will be making this soon. If using frozen corn, how much do you use??
Hi Brenda, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work in the same amount.
Hi I made this tonight, I had to leave out the cilantro and onions because of my grandchildren . It was fabulous. I will make it again with all the ingredients . Thank you!!
Can’t wait to try the other recipes!!
Hi there Anne, I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe. I hope you’ll also love all the other recipes that you will try!
Hi What is a good sub for the cilantro? I don’t like it lol!!!
Hi Angela, you could use dill or chives, or just leave it out and it will still taste great.
Love this salad!
Reminds me of (the tastes of) summer.
Thanks for this recipe Natasha.
I’ve made it many times (to rave reviews) and serve it as a salsa/dip with multigrain tortilla chips (eg.Tostitos Scoops)
We eat this regularly in the summer! So good! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe, KC.
I made the avocado and corn salad and it was delicious. Thank you so much for your recipes.
I’m so glad you loved the salad.
Delicious salad. thank you. also enjoyed your radish and cucumber sour cream salad.
You are so welcome, Stan. I’m glad you enjoyed my recipes!
Hi Natasha, made this last month for fiancé and I we loved it. I did add black beans to it though. Making tonight for a girls get together tomorrow but will add the avocado when I get there. Just can’t decide between the black beans again or as others suggested shrimp which also sounds great.
Sounds like a great plan. It really depends but both sounds good to me!
How many does this serve…..1 or 2?
Hi Pamela, this serves 6 as a size. We have that information on the printable recipe card. Simply scroll down to that section 🙂
I made this salad and it was delicious, husband loved it too. I cheated and used frozen grilled corn instead of fresh and it turned out great.
No worries and I’m happy to hear that you both enjoyed this salad. Thank you for sharing!
I made this and it was delicious, husband loved it too. I cheated and used frozen grilled corn instead of fresh and was very pleased how it turned out.
Hi Leslie, I’m glad you enjoyed this salad! Thanks for your good comments and feedback.
I’ve made this salad twice before and am making it today. Love it! My husband loves it.
Very nice! I’m glad your husband enjoyed this salad, Karen.
Is really good salad I do all the time.
I’m so glad! Sounds like you found a favorite recipe! That’s so great!
Cobb salad above is mi favorite that you post.
Great to hear that, Linda. This is indeed so yummy!
Can I use can corn ?
Hi Valentina, fresh corn will give you the best flavor, but sweet canned or cooked frozen will also work.
Very nice it turned out to be, thanks for the recipe !
You’re most welcome. Thanks for your good feedback!
Am loving what you do and am learning some
Wonderful salad, I will definitely make this again.

I made this salad more than any other this past summer. It is the perfect summer salad. The Avocado Chicken Salad is also fantastic.
Sounds like this is one of your favorites, it is so good! I’m glad you loved it too.
Hi looking to make
Garlic cheese bread
Hi Becky, here’s my Garlic Bread Recipe.
Amazing! I forgot the romaine but it still came out great! I’m kind of thankful that I left the romaine out because we had leftovers and the lettuce would’ve likely wilted.
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe Yolanda!
3ears of corn is not enough for a 5-6 servings in my opinion. Dressing is enough for the 5 ears
I used. Dressing is so so very good!
Thank you for sharing that feedback with us Menger! I’m happy you enjoyed that!
Do you have a Cookbook? I live do many of your recipes, but would love to have a book rather than on my phone. (I’m 71 and not tech savvy)
Hello Donna, I am currently working on it. It’s taking me a while to complete it but I’ll definitely share it with you all when it’s ready.
This salad is a home run! I’ve made it several times now and just ran to the store for the ingredients as I’ve got a craving for it yet again. Thanks for the amazingly simple and delicious recipe.
You’re welcome, Joshua! Isn’t it simply amazing! We absolutely love this recipe also!
Can I put the avocado in and will it keep from turning brown? I making it in the morning and eating that evening. Thank!!
Hi Beth, If the avocado has dressing on it it will be fine. If serving separately I recommend spraying some lemon juice over it to protect it.
Like Beth, I will be making mine in the morning and serving it in the evening. Can I wait to add the avocado and dressing right before I serve it?
Hi Yvonne, yes that would work well.
This is absolutely delicious!
Thank you, Pam!
This was so good I kept adding leftover things from the fridge to it. Also, my husband has trouble with onions, but can have onion powder and chives, so I subbed that. (I know, those people that substitute and then rate things!) But it was still awesome. Also had some leftover cilantro lime riced cauliflower in the fridge and tossed that in, too. So yummy!
I am so happy to know that you and your husband enjoyed this salad! Thanks for your awesome review.
do you know how many days this is good for?
Hi Kate, I had our left overs in the fridge for 2 days and it was as good as the first day.
My whole family loved this salad so refreshing. so easy to follow your directions! i am so glad i have found you! You have not disappointed us yet! you give me inspiration to break the every day rut!Thank you!
You’re welcome, Michelle! Thank you for this lovely comment!
Love this recipe. I am a vegetarian and this is a tasty addition to my healthy meals. I added Italian seasoning to the vinaigrette for the extra flavor.
Yum! Great idea! Thank you for that feedback Kim!
This was a great recipe! I’ve been looking for healthy lunches/side dishes, and everything in here is wonderful. Nice to have something new to bring to the table.
It is fresh and colorful too! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe Cathy!
This is a beautiful and satisfying salad; especially perfect for the hot summer! Your site is beautiful also, with the stunning pictures! Your borscht recipe with meat is my all time favorite, but so many more are excellent as well! Thank you, Natasha for this site! If you ever write a book with all these recipes, I would be the first to buy it, to have everything in one convenient place!
You’re so nice! Thank you for this thoughtful feedback Joyce! I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipes! We do have a book in the works, stay tuned!
Given these trying times, this summer salad brings me a bit of happiness and a smile for everyone who sitting at our table. You are more than an amazing cook!
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment and review Kristin!
I have made a few of your recipes, the Italian pasta salad. My family loved it, no left overs. The cowboy caviar very good, but next time I’m going to change it up and add grilled chicken chopped up. Tonight I’m making your chicken fried rice. Last time I made it they loved it. Doubling the recipe to send for lunches. Thank you for being a good teacher and so funny. I wanted to know where you get your pots and pans and the tools you use.
You’re welcome, Bobbie! I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipes! You can find all of our favorite tools on our Blog Shop and on our Amazon Shop.
Hi Natasha, can you sub half of the lime with lemon? I have only one lime and one lemon. Thanks!
That should work too.
Omg your recipes never disappoint. This was SO good. Who knew something so simple could be SO full of flavor? Love it.
Super! Thank you, Melissa, for your great feedback.
Made the recipe with an extra ear of corn, a quarter red onion, one avocado and quartered cherry tomatoes. I made the dressing using a little extra lime juice and the remainder of ingredients. I don’t like cilantro so I omitted it. The recipe was exceptional and we really loved it!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Yum, yum, yum, summer in a bowl, loved it.
Isn’t it the best! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe Mary!
Natasha,
I wanted to sincerely thank you for these awesome FREE recipes and videos. You make cooking a lot easier for those who are new at it. Your sweet, upbeat, and kind personality really shines!
Thank you!
You are very welcome, thank you so much for your appreciation. It means so much to us!
I am going to make the corn an avocado recipe. I love all the summer fresh vegetables without cooking you make it look so easy I’ll be baking tortilla recipes tomorrow I’ll be making salads tomorrow. thank you so much
You’re welcome, Patricia! I hope you love this recipe!
Love this salad! I’ve made it multiple times for parties and it’s always a hit. My only suggestion is to add avocado last – I find that when I add the sauce, by the time I have mixed the salad together to coat it, the avocado gets too mashed up. I’ve also made this salad a day ahead of time and then I would wait to add avocado until the day of. It is absolutely amazing and always makes me look like a star at parties!
Hi and thank you for the wonderful review and suggestion. I agree – especially if the avocado is very ripe.
Natasha, I love your energy in your cooking videos. This salad!!!!
Delicious! I literally ate the entire bowl by myself in one day as my hubby hates avacados. More for me! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, more for you indeed! I am so happy to know that you loved this salad.
Hey Natasha when are you going to publish a cook book?
Hi Megan, stay tuned, we’re currently working on a book.
You added the nutritional value…….wow! Merci.
Love this recipe! I add a can of black beans and some cooked frozen shrimp thawed…from Costco. I’ve been making this weekly since I discovered the recipe. It a perfect meal during the hot summer months. Great flavors and very healthy!
How creative!!! I’m adding the shrimp for protein to turn it into more of a complete meal. Thanks.
Excellent. Liked by the entire family.
That’s just awesome Rich! Thank you for that great review!
Natasha, I made the avocado corn recipe last night. I did not have regular olive oil so I used organic basil olive oil. Very tasty. Served it with your cilantro lime grilled chicken. So pretty and yummy.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Made this delicious salad last night. Loved it and bringing it to my daughters bbq this weekend. Thanks again for your great recipes
I’m glad you loved this salad, I hope your family will enjoy it too!
We loved this so much! My husband isn’t a big tomato or avocado fan but he loved it as much as I did and wants to have it again tomorrow night! So good, and so quick and easy!
So wonderful to read your comments and feedback. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Oh, Natasha! How did you think to put these flavors together?! It’s like an explosion of summer! So fresh and delicious! It’s my new favorite and the “taste test” was way more than just one bite!! 🙂
What an awesome feedback. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Lauri!
Hi, Some of my children are allergic to citrus, including lemon and lime. Any suggestions on a different dressing? And if using frozen corn (the organic corn at Costco is delicious), would you just defrost, or under cook?
HI Liz, you could try using your favorite Italian dressing. That would work well also.
This is a family favorite. We have a BBQ coming up and I was wondering if it can be made in advance or does the avocado turn color?
Hi Kym, our salad hasn’t lasted more than a day or so so I haven’t tested storing it for that long. It should last a couple of days for sure though!
My experience with avocado not turning color is it doesn’t happen when lemon is added.
Do you have a recipe for Chow Chow? I have been looking for one that is easy and somewhat like what my husband grandmother use to make. Nobody kept her recipe, so sad.
Hi Maria, I do not at this time but thank you for that suggestion! I will add that to the list!
I finally bit the bullet and made this, my husband can be picky. But OMG! this is so good! He loves it and I cannot stop eating it.
That’s so great! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Hi Natasha. Thank you so much for the great recipes. I made the avocado corn salad and its so good. My husband and my son loved it.
I am so happy to know that. Thanks for sharing!
If the portion is too big, can we keep it in the fridge for a few days?
Hi Monique, our salad hasn’t lasted more than a day or so so I haven’t tested storing it for that long. It should last a couple of days for sure!
I had our left overs in the fridge for 2 days and it was as good as the first day
Thank you so much for sharing that Cher! That is helpful!
O.M.YUM!!! Made this for the 4th of July. Family LOVED it. Since nobody in my family likes cilantro, I did substitute flat leaf parsley. Will defiantly make again! And again! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Ericka. So happy to hear that everyone in your family enjoyed this salad!
Natasha, I will be taking this salad to a family reunion barbecue this weekend. Want to double recipe. Is there anything I should cut back on or add more of? Thanks, Becky. PS, I have made many of your recipes and loved them all. So. Glad to know you can teach an old dog new tricks. (72yo) lol!
Hi Becky! I would double all the ingredients. Several of our readers have doubled this successfully!
This was one of the best salads I have ever tried. The salad is fresh tasting and can go with anything. I am new to your site, but want to thank you for putting together recipes that are simple to follow, taste amazing and do not cost a fortune to make.
I love it! Thank you so much for your great comments and feedback, Nicole. We appreciate it!
DELICIOUS! This salad is a winner! I made this for 4th of July. It is very easy to make and is so light! This will definitely be a go-to for me.
Sounds like you found a new favorite Cassandra That’s so great! Thank you for that wonderful review!
This is now my GO-TO recipe for summer outings! I’ve made it at least five times in the past month and tastes even better the next day. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for the wonderful review Dee!
Your salad was recommended by a fellow fan from a food group. This looks really delicious. I simply love avocados and corn. will definitely try it out soon.
So happy to have you here! I hope you love each recipe that you will try, Patricia.
So good and fresh! Adding this to my regular summer salad menu.
That’s just awesome Judy! Thank you for that great review!
Hi Natasha – do you think this salad would keep in the fridge for a couple days after making? Excited to try it!
Hi Shannon, I have had leftovers keep well, but the color is the most vibrant and tomatoes are the freshest when they are enjoyed the same day it is made. Make sure not to add salt until you are ready to serve.
Would it effect the taste too much if I prepared this the night before and add the avocado before serving?
Hi Joanne, That will work great!
I have made so many of your recipes. they are amazing. Looking forward to making this! I am not the biggest fan of cilantro. is there anything else that would work instead?
Hi Kayla, you could try adding fresh parsley to taste. I think fresh dill would taste great also in place of cilantro.
Is it okay to substitute lemon for lime?
Hi Grace, yes, both lemon or lime juice would work well.
My first review. I just made your corn/avacado salad, for Canad Day celebration. I was so excited to use my garden cilantro. The taste test is YUM! I’ll be making this a lot this summer! Thank you!
Sounds like you found a new favorite Cheryl! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I’ve been wanting to make this for awhile and made it today. It is very yummy but I’m not a fan of cilantro. Is there something I can substitute the cilantro with? Otherwise I can’t stop eating it.
Hello Sue, you can try if you will like parsley or basil.
Basil sounds perfect. Thanks!
i used fresh dill and it was great.. I substituted garlic salt for the fresh garlic
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Made the Avocado Corn Salad for a family gathering last w/e. Doubled the recipe (made for 10 guests only. Was a big hit with people asking for the recipe. Very little leftover. I did add 1/2 can of drained & washed black beans. I have never bbq’d my corn in the husks. So easy & so tasty. Will definitely make this again.
Yay that is awesome! I am so glad that everyone enjoyed this salad. Thanks for sharing!
Great easy side dish to any grilled meal. Tonight with left over grilled butterflied leg of lamb.
Totally agree, this is a great side dish to anything grilled. Yum!
This recipe is simple and amazing! Great easy side to make to complement grilled chicken or salmon.
It sure is Chris! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with us!
I’ve made this several times now. Absolutely love it with tacos, tortilla or pita chips, or just a fresh side salad. Having it tonight with some Shrimp Fajitas.
Sounds like you have a new family favorite Debbie! That’s so great! Thank you for sharing that amazing review with us!
Such a yummy summer dish! My family loved it along with some grilled pork chops! This is one of my favorites! I do love corn and avocado so much though. Thanks for your great recipes. You’re fun to watch too.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe Jaimie!
Can you send me a link for the vegetable scoop you use during vege prep. Thank you!
Hello Tomasan, you can check out the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Page.
Delicious! Added some shrimp and Old Bay seasoning and it was even more amazing. Can be served as a side dish or with pita/tortilla chips.
Yum! Great idea! Thank you for sharing that with me!
I made this for myself and my husband and I have to say, it’s amazing!
I was wondering where you got the knife at 0:28 in your video! It looks perfect for cutting and I have to have one !
Thank you so much for sharing your good experience with us, Vanessa. You can check the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Page.
can u substitute the avocado for another veggie as i’m not a fan of avaocado?
That could work. The Avocado is the main ingredient here so I worry a substitution may not have the same effect.
This was so easy to make and it was fabulous!! It went perfect with Sunday dinner of bbq ribs, Brown rice, corn on the cob, peach cobbler and iced tea. Everyone loved it!
Thanks for sharing ❤️

You are very welcome, Linda. Thanks for your wonderful feedback!
Fantastic! I grilled corn and cut up tomatoes, onion and cilantro early in the day.I also mixed up dressing at the same time. I added a can of black beans and shrimp. Right before serving I added avocado, shrimp and dressing to my prepped ingredients. Gave a toss and it was so DELICIOUS! Loved it so much I already shared with a friend!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite Randi!
Thank you so much for showing me this recipe! If I hadn’t been able to see the video I would not have made it. I did not know how to get the corn off the cob. I served this salad with enchiladas and my husband raved about it. The recipe came in my email and I couldn’t wait to try it. Thanks for the videos. It really helps people that want to cook but learn better by actually seeing.
You are so welcome Brenda. I’m so glad that was helpful!
Just made this..yum! It will be our summer go to. Easy & delicious. Thank you.

Thank you for all your yummy recepies I love watching your cooking videos
You’re welcome Cora! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes and videos!
Delicious salad! I had a few very ripe avocado’s that I needed to use up. Was planning to make guacomole until I saw this recipe. Used canned corn because that’s what I had on hand and it still turned out super yummy!
Sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Absolutely delicious!! I love all your recipes have such a fresh taste- I love them all! This salad is totally addictive!
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Lindsey! Thank you for that great review.
I’ve made this before used black beans also. So delicious and fresh!
Hi Debby, thank you for your great review. I’m so glad you enjoyed this corn salad and black beans are a great add-in idea.
I just made a smaller version (as I live on my own) and added radish to mine, now in hindsight i wish I made a lot more.
Nice Steve, you can always do more next time! At least you already know that you love it.
This is yummy! Someone recommended your blog to me earlier today and it was too hot for a cooked dinner. It’s so simple to make, very refreshing and full of good things. Can hardly wait to see what it tastes like after it rests in the fridge for a while. Delicious!
Thanks for checking out my content Laurie. I hope you love this first recipe that you tried!
I made this it was delicious, and I did not cook the corn, corn is so juicy and delicious without cooking , especially in this fresh salad. I will do again
I’m so happy you liked that!
Ok, anyone tried this with a little crumbled bacon?
I think that would be delicious!
This was incredible. Added radishes and would have also added cooked green beans. Loved the avocado and also added a little of my secret dressing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Jeanine!
Made this today for lunch and added hard boiled eggs. OMG…so good and super healthy. Thank you!
Sounds like you had a yummy and healthy lunch! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Perfect salad! Fulfilling and delicious! Didn’t have cherry tomatoes so used tomatoes on the vine, and used frozen corn. Thank you again for another good recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Mona!
Can I substitute other leafy salads then cilantro
Hi Sylvia, you could try adding fresh parsley to taste. I think fresh dill would taste great also in place of cilantro.
Made exactly as written, used fresh summer corn and cherry tomatoes from the garden. Amazing!! Definitely a keeper ????
That’s so great! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Super yummy! My avo was a little too ripe so it didn’t look as great as yours. I’ll definitely make it again and then I’ll post a pic. Thanks for a great, simple, healthy recipe 😊
Sounds great! You can share photos of your creation on our Facebook page and group.
on your salads what is the portion size?
Hi Carola, depending on the salad. Most are 1 to 2 cups. I hope that helps.
I made this for a luncheon today. I put in too much lime, so I added honey to balance. It is as delicious! I will make this again!
I’m sp glad you found that fix Nancy! That’s so great!
This looks amazing. I can’t wait to make it. How much is a serving size. I count calories
Hi Darlene, this recipe serves 6 as a side. 1/6th of the recipe would be the serving size. I hope that helps.
Just made this delicious salad as a side tonight for dinner. Scrumptious! Added some champagne vinegar cuz my lime was kinda dry. Also used frozen corn kernels and added cucumbers and cilantro. I’ve been home on the range for 45 years and sometimes it gets boring doing the same old food even tho I love cooking, baking…food in general. Natasha’s Kitchen has brought new inspiration to me with yummy recipes and fun videos to watch. Thank you!
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you!
Made this 3 times and all love. I use red capsicum instead of tomatoes. Asking you if you think mint would work instead of the cilento?
Hi Sharna, I think mint might not meld well with the other flavors. I would suggest fresh dill or finely chopped parsley instead.
I loved this and so did my husband. Thank You
I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you for that awesome review!
