Corn Avocado Salad with Tomato

Starbucks came out with their Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday and people are going crazy! As much as I love Fall and all things Autumn, it’s still SO HOT here. I just can’t quite jump into the Fall feels just yet.

So on that note, I decided to do one last Summer recipe for y’all. This Summer Corn Salad incorporates all those fresh flavors of summer.

Can Corn and Avocado Salad be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, I actually enjoy it more once it’s had a chance to sit and marinade all together. If you only want to make it partially ahead of time, you could chop and prepare all the ingredients and then combine together right before serving.

How to store Corn Avocado Tomato Salad

Avocado corn salad should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing it.

Corn Tomato Avocado Salad tips and variations

If you want to omit the spicy side of this salad, feel free to leave out the jalapeno.

To make it heartier, add some black beans to the salad.

Can I use frozen corn in Corn and Avocado Salad?

You can use frozen corn in corn and avocado salad, just be sure to thaw it first.

    1. Hi Patti!
      Great question! If you don’t have a grill, you can absolutely still make this salad. I recommend either sautéing the corn in a skillet for a bit of char and flavor, or boiling it for a few minutes until tender. If you’re using frozen corn, just thaw and warm it in a skillet with a touch of olive oil for a little extra flavor. Hope that helps!
