Grilled Summer Corn Salad

Corn, peaches and avocado? Yes, please! This hits ALL the notes of summer time in one bowl. Garden fresh vegetables and fruit tossed with a squeeze of fresh lime juice- it is so good! This salad is the perfect summer side dish. I usually make this whenever I make either grilled BBQ chicken or grilled fish. It really pairs well with any main entrée. I purchased the ingredients at the Downey Farmers Market, open Every Saturday, from 9 am to 1 pm.

Ingredients

  • 3 organic ears of grilled corn on the cob (Berumen Farms)
  • 1 organic red bell pepper, diced (G Farms)
  • ½ small organic cucumber, diced (Berumen Farms)
  • 2 ripe organic peaches, pitted and diced (G Farms)
  • 1 small organic avocado, pitted and diced (Berumen Farms)
  • 8 organic basil leaves, thinly sliced (Onofre Farms)
  • juice of 1 organic lime, plus lime wedges for serving (G Farms)
  • Sea salt (Nordic Catch at our Melrose Place location)
  • Optional: pair with grilled shrimp, chicken, or steak to make it a complete entrée

Instructions

  • Slice the kernels off of the grilled corn and place in a large bowl. Add the red pepper, green pepper, cucumber, peaches, avocado, basil, lime juice, a few pinches of salt, and toss. Enjoy immediately!
