Corn Salad with Avocado and Tomatoes

Corn salad is nothing else than a big bowl full of vitamins, fresh veggies, a tasty dressing, and a happy smile. Corn salad made of baked corn is super delish and ultra hearty.

Who loves baked corn will find this satisfying and colourful salad tasty and delicious. I love the sweet taste that corn offers to a salad, but coated in some simple dressing, it is simply delicious and healthy, and sometimes everything I want. 

Corn Salad with Avocado and TomatoesHere, optional, you can use canned or roasted corn, but I like it baked, most. I like to feel the crunchiness and the baking aroma in this salad. A super simple side dish, but so flavorful and healthy. This is a versatile salad so you can mix the corn with everything. Usually, my frequently used veggies are tomatoes and avocado that I always have some in my fridge. These simple ingredients create a fabulous bowl of salad to simply enjoy as it is or served next to anything. It pairs great with tacos or quesadillas, also next to some roasted meat, or roasted potatoes. 

This corn avocado and tomato salad is loaded with proteins and healthy veggies – all together tossed in an amazingly fresh and citrusy dressing is finger lingering. 

It is a crowd-pleasing fresh corn salad that is savoured by all my guests with pleasure and is always disappearing fast! 

Even though its bright colour inspires summer, I adore making it all year round.

Can I substitute with fresh corn, canned or frozen corn?

Sure, you can use whatever corn you like from fresh to frozen one. For this delicate salad, I love to use baked corn, but you can easily add canned or any other you have. Canned corn is okay when you don’t have fresh or frozen one, but nonetheless, you should dare to use corn in your menu and eat it anyways.
