Avocado Corn Salad Recipe
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 to 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: we 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. Click for grilled corn recipe.
- 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 is ok, 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.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
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!
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!
