Grilled corn is one of my family’s favorite summer side vegetables. My daughter will gobble it up any night of the week.
Sometimes to mix things up I’ll make a salad out of grilled corn rather than eating corn on the cob. This is a simple, versatile summer dish. Grilled Corn Salad is great as a side salad, in tacos, on top of mixed greens, or on grilled meats.

Directions
Step 1: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit and discard. Cut each half in half lengthwise. Peel back the skin and discard.
Step 2: Cut avocado into 3/4 inch cubes. Add to a small bowl and squeeze half of a lime over top. This will help prevent the avocado from browning and sticking together while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Step 3: Stand the corn up on end and cut the kernels off using a knife. Set aside in a bowl.
Step 4: Wash the grape tomatoes, slice in half lengthwise. Add to the corn.
Step 5: Remove the cilantro leaves from the stems. Reserve the leaves and chop finely. In a small bowl, combine the other half of the lime juice, salt and pepper, cumin, and chopped cilantro.
Step 6: Stir the cilantro lime mixture into the corn and tomatoes. Then, gently stir in the avocado. Serve chilled.
