Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
When looking for a tasty salad on the Internet I came across this one from Jehan Can Cook. It sounded perfect. I love all the ingredients and flavors used so I was really excited to try it. It was so quick and easy to make and tasted fantastic. We all really loved this salad. The dressing was delicious and the salad was filled with great textures and flavors. I will make this dish over and over again.
Grilled Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing:
Ingredients:
- 1-pint grape tomatoes
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 ears of fresh sweet corn
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
How to Make Grilled Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
Remove husks from corn and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes. The corn should have some brown spots and be tender and not mushy. Cut the corn off the cob then scrape the cob with the back of your knife to get the juices. Set aside and let cool. Slice the tomatoes in half. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
Honey Lime Dressing:
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Dash of cayenne pepper
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Combine the sliced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and grilled corn and honey-lime dressing and mix gently so everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the avocados. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to let flavors mingle. Enjoy.
I just made this and it was absolutly delicious! Fresh corn isn’t in season right now so I used the frozen kind. I can’t wait to try this again!!
This recipe looks great, my mouth is watering. I’m going to have to make it 🙂
How many does this serve?
this sounds delicious! thanks for sharing…..can’t wait to try it!
You had me at “cilantro”. 😉
I made this dish and blogged about it. It was SO delicious. Thank you for sharing!
I cannot stop making this dish! It is so easy and absolutely delicious!!!!
made this except substituted olive oil for veggie oil…omg delicious!
Just made this tonight with some grilled salmon. Delicious! I added a little chopped red onion to the salad. I love your blog.
Looks so simple yet tasty! Definitely going on the “must try” list. 🙂
Fabulous! I added about a tbsp of red onion -perfect summer salad/side with grilled pork tenderloin.
That dressing is phenomenal!!!!
This salad is the best….we make it 2 times a week (i added a little chopped red onion for some crunch) and we made a HUGE batch of the dressing. We use it on everything!!! thanks for sharing.
Delicious. I added chicken and some cold cubed potatoes because I had them on hand. For my taste I’d like more corn, less tomato, but it was delicious!
Donna,
Your idea is really good.
I didn’t want to fire up the grill so I cooked my corn in the microwave then I grilled it over an open flame on top of my range. Love this salad so we will be fixing it again. 🙂
There’s a Facebook page which seems to have used your recipe and photo, wasn’t sure if you had approved of it or not: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=480768768674814&set=a.459552280796463.1073741826.459510230800668&type=1

I made this from the Facebook posting…it is fantastic and I told all my friends. I think you may have some new followers!
How many servings does this recipe make?
It serves 4-6 depending on how large your servings are.
Thank you!
We made this salad for a baby shower and it was the hit of the party!! So fresh and tasty during the hot summer months. Will definitely keep this recipe handy to bring to parties, etc!
I doubled this recipe and took it to a cookout for work. This was a big hit! The dressing really makes it special.
I absolutely LOVE this salad – have made it a few times already and served with pita chips as an appetizer at my Bible Study. I, however, do not care for the honey taste and, instead, use just olive oil, lime juice, s & p and cayenne for the dressing.
It’s delicious, but does anyone know the calories and a Weight Watcher points?
I just made this salad for the second time…this time for a 4th of July BBQ as a side. I loved it last week when I tried it and scarfed down the leftovers for lunch the other day. Cold, fresh salads like this are perfect for summer and I love this one. Thanks!
This is one of the best salads I have ever had..
This recipe is soooo delicious! I think I could survive on this 3 meals a day! Do try this one… It’s a huge winner! Yummy…..
I love this salad. To stretch it out I added pasta and turned it into a pasta salad. The dressing is to die for good.
This was a big hit! The dressing really makes it special.
I cannot stop making this dish! It is so easy
Add a drained can of black beans, and it’s a meal. LOVE IT
I will be making this delicious salad for a large group and would like to make just the dressing a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Is this ok, and will it still taste just as good?
I’ve never had it in my fridge for a week so I am not sure how well it will taste. I would do it a few days in advance to be safe.

This is a family favorite at our house… our three year old requests it! I’m addicted!
One of my favorite salads !
I cannot stop making this dish! It is so easy

Kathy,
Sorry for my late reply, I have been on the road for 13 days.
It served my family of four.
Pam
I made this a few hours before serving. Should I leave it out or refrigerate until ready to eat?
Thank you
Denise,
I’m sorry for the late reply! I’ve been on vacation. I would leave it out but refrigerating it would also be fine. I hope you enjoyed the salad.
