Ingredients

5 ears fresh corn, shucked

2 medium roma tomatoes, diced

1 medium English cucumber, diced

1 medium avocado, diced

1/2 medium red onion, minced

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the Corn:

    • Shuck the corn and carefully cut the kernels off the cobs into a large bowl.

  • Prepare the Vegetables:

    • Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado. Mince the red onion and add them to the bowl with the corn.

  • Add Fresh Herbs:

    • Add the chopped basil and mint to the bowl and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  • Make the Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  • Combine and Serve:

    • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes for enhanced flavors.

Notes

Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. The avocado may brown, but the salad will still taste great.

Variations: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or black beans for protein, or throw in some nuts for extra crunch. For a smoky twist, grill the corn before cutting the kernels off.
