How to Make Summer Fresh Corn Salad
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Shuck the fresh corn and remove the silk. Add the ears of corn to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove them from the pot, pat dry, and cut the kernels from the cob, placing them into a large mixing bowl.
- Dice the roma tomatoes, English cucumber, and avocado. Mince the red onion. Add all these fresh ingredients to the bowl with the corn, along with the chopped fresh basil and mint leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Taste the salad and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Optional: Serve chilled with a sprinkle of extra herbs on top.
Notes
For best flavor, enjoy the salad fresh. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
