Grilled Corn Salad with Avocado, Tomato and Lime
Bursting
with the flavors of summer and enhanced with the essence of lime, this
salad is sure to enhance your meal. Perfect for a potluck or a picnic,
you can make this salad a day ahead.
1-2 ears of corn, grilled (or about 1 cup of frozen)**
1 avocado, cubed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup canned garbonzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
3-4 Tbs cilantro, chopped
3 Tbs lime juice
3 Tbs oil (I usually "splash" in place of measuring - we use either olive or grapeseed)
salt and pepper to taste
Cut
the grille and cooled corn from the cob. Add corn to a medium mixing
bowl along with avocado, tomatoes, onion and chickpeas. Toss gently.
Add the cilantro and squeeze the lime. Drizzle with oil and toss again,
gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste and chill. Serve either
chilled or at room temp. Enjoy!
**Liv Life Note:
To grill the corn I simply remove the silks and husks, place the cob
directly on the grill over medium heat. Turn every few minutes until
desired doneness is achieved.
