Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn shucked, grilled, and cut off the cob (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup english cucumber chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime zested then juiced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed, finely diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  • Put the corn, still in its husks, on the grill, cover, and cook for 20 minutes rotating the corn cobs every 5 minutes or so.
    4 ears of corn
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix to combine the garlic, jalapeño, and a large pinch of kosher salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice, sour cream, mayo or Greek yogurt, and white wine vinegar and whisk to combine. Add the avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro and toss gently to combine.
    1/2 cup english cucumber, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 bunch cilantro, 1 lime, 1 avocado, 1/2 red onion, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, 1 jalapeño, 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • Remove the corn from the grill. When cool enough to handle, peel back the silk, and slice the kernels off the cobs directly into the bowl with a knife. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Notes

Storage: 
  • Store this grilled corn salad in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Always give it a fresh stir before enjoying. Like I mentioned before, prepping this salad in advance is great to do too! The flavors will get better with time.
