Description
A vibrant summer salad featuring smoky grilled corn, creamy avocado, tangy goat cheese, and a sweet-spicy hot honey vinaigrette. Perfect for gatherings or weeknight meals, this dish balances sweet, savory, and spicy flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
4 ears of corn, shucked
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup chopped red onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup hot honey (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill corn for 10-12 minutes, rotating until charred on all sides. Cool, then cut kernels from the cob.
In a large bowl, combine grilled corn, diced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, and red onion.
Whisk hot honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the vinaigrette.
Toss the salad with the vinaigrette until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For no-charring alternative, use an air fryer or broiler to grill corn.
Substitute goat cheese with feta for a different flavor.
Hot honey can be made by blending chili flakes into raw honey.
Store unused portions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
