Ingredients

4 ears of corn, husked

1 avocado, diced

4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Hot Honey Vinaigrette:

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Grill the Corn:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
    • Grill the ears of corn, turning occasionally, until they are charred in spots and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
    • Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Vinaigrette:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Salad:
    • Once the grilled corn has cooled enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
    • Add diced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the corn kernels.
  4. Pour Vinaigrette:
    • Drizzle the hot honey vinaigrette over the salad ingredients.
  5. Toss and Season:
    • Gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
    • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve:
    • Transfer the grilled corn salad to a serving platter or individual plates.
    • Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro leaves or additional crumbled goat cheese.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the vinaigrette to suit your spice preference.

This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a refreshing side dish for any summer gathering.

For an added twist, try adding cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra color and flavor.
