Fresh, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this Tomato, Corn & Avocado Salad is everything you want in a summer side. It’s a colorful mix of juicy cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, creamy avocado, and a punch of lime that ties it all together.
This salad is a go-to for quick lunches, cookouts, or anytime you want something healthy that doesn’t feel like a chore. The flavors are simple but super satisfying, and it pairs well with grilled meat or fish. Plus, it’s easy to double if you’re feeding a crowd. We like to serve it with Bang Bang Chicken Skewers.

Helpful Tips
- Char the corn: For extra flavor, grill or pan-roast the corn for a few minutes before cutting it off the cob.
- Use ripe avocado: A ripe avocado adds the perfect creamy texture. If it’s too firm, let it sit out for a day or two before using.
- Chill before serving: Let the salad sit in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld. It tastes even better cold.
