A bowl of grilled corn avocado salad with tomatoes, feta, and herbs sits on a table with cut avocado, corn, lime, spices, a glass of lemonade, and yellow flowers nearby.

This is a great salad to prepare in advance – no leaves wilting and the lime juice in the dressing will keep the avocado slices nice and green. The longer you leave it in the bowl, the more the flavors will intensify.

Here’s What You Will Need

Corn on the cob – Grilled or air fried until slightly charred. Substitute with canned or frozen corn, sautéed until caramelized.
Ripe avocado – Cubed for creamy texture – use avocados still on the firm side if possible.
Feta cheese – for a creamy, salty tang. Barrel-aged Greek feta for best flavor
Cherry tomatoes – for color and crunch
Zesty dressing – Olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic and red pepper flakes

How to Make Grilled Corn Avocado Salad

Slice the avocados in half and remove the stone. Slice, skin on, and then peel the skin off. Add to the bowl with the corn.

Slice your tomatoes with a sharp knife and add to the bowl together with the feta. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and then stir everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Serve immediately on a nice platter (maybe with a few tortilla chips on the side) or keep in the fridge, covered, until needed.

Recipe Variations

This zesty summer salad is filling and satisfying in itself, but could add some grilled chicken to turn it into a full meal or even throw in some black beans to fill it out a bit if you want to keep it vegetarian. Replace the feta cheese with a plant-based alternative, or leave it out altogether, to keep this recipe vegan.

Serving Suggestions

I love making a big batch of this corn and avocado salad whenever we have friends over for a cook-out. It pairs well with steak, chicken kebabs, barbecue ribs, pork belly slices or basically any grilled meat or fish you care to throw at it. A pitcher of beergaritas makes for the perfect drink companion!
