Ingredients
4 ears of corn, corn kernels removed
3 roma tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 pickled green chili, chopped
1 ripe avocado
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup freshly chopped basil
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice from one lemon
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by preparing the corn. Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn. Boil the corn and let it cool. Once cooled, grill the cooked corn slightly to give it a charred flavor. Hold each ear of corn upright on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut downwards to remove the kernels. Repeat this process for all four ears of corn. Place the corn kernels in a bowl and set aside.
2
Now, let's prepare the remaining vegetables. Dice the roma tomatoes and place them in a separate bowl. Peel the cucumber and chop it into small pieces, then add it to the bowl with the tomatoes. Chop the pickled green chili and set it aside.
3
Moving on to the avocado. Slice it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into small chunks and set them aside.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced tomatoes, chopped cucumber, pickled green chili, and chopped avocado.
5
Add the freshly chopped parsley and basil to the bowl with the other vegetables, giving the salad a delightful herbaceous touch.
6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and sugar. This vibrant dressing will perfectly complement the salad.
7
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring that the dressing coats all of the vegetables evenly. This will enhance the flavors and textures of the salad.
8
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference, making it as mild or as zesty as you like.
9
Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the ingredients to marry beautifully.
10
Once the flavors have had a chance to develop, give the salad a final toss before serving. This ensures that each bite is bursting with deliciousness.
11
Transfer the Summer Corn Salad to a serving dish or individual plates, presenting it in an appetizing and enticing manner.
12
Serve the salad immediately and savor the refreshing flavors of summer. Each mouthful will delight your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
