Corn, Tomato, & Avocado Salad is an explosion of Tex-Mex flavors and summertime textures tossed with a zippy lime vinaigrette, also great as a dip with chips!
There’s something just magical about fresh corn on the cob. I have to admit, though, that I used to mostly avoid it because it was such a sticky, frustrating mess to husk. That all changed a couple of years ago when I discovered the easiest, tastiest, BEST way to cook fresh corn…no more silk sticking to everything in sight! And now I don’t hesitate to load up on fresh corn whenever it’s in season.
Today’s recipe is a twist on a Corn, Black Bean, & Tomato Salad that I’ve been making for years. But I always made that one with frozen corn…and lately I’ve been on a total cotija cheese kick…plus, what salad isn’t improved with the addition of avocado? So I decided to make a few changes, which resulted in this amazing, bursting-with-flavor Corn, Tomato, & Avocado Salad! It’s just the thing to carry you through the rest of the summer.
