Ina Garten Avocado Corn Salad Recipe Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off the cob (about 3 cups)
• 2 ripe avocados, diced
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or basil
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons good olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Ina Garten Avocado Corn Salad Recipe

1. Prep the corn: Cut kernels from the cob. For softer texture, blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, then cool.
2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine corn, red onion, and herbs. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
4. Add avocado: Fold in diced avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.
5. Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Raw or cooked corn? Raw gives extra crunch; blanched corn is softer and sweeter.

• Make ahead: Prepare corn, onion, and dressing in advance; combine just before serving.
• Herb swaps: Try parsley or dill for a different flavor.
• Extra flavor boost: Add crumbled feta or cotija cheese.
