A quick, refreshing salad combining crisp cucumbers, creamy avocados, and sweet corn with a bright cilantro lime dressing. Perfect for warm weather and easy meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium English cucumbers, diced
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears), or frozen and thawed
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash cucumbers and corn. Dice cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces. Slice corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
  2. Dice red onion finely.
  3. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, scoop out flesh, and dice into 1-inch pieces.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, combine lime juice, minced garlic, honey, and olive oil. Whisk or shake until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine cucumbers, corn kernels, diced avocado, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  6. Pour the cilantro lime dressing over the salad and toss carefully to avoid mashing the avocado.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors, then serve.

Notes

Add avocado and dressing just before serving to prevent browning. Use frozen corn if fresh is unavailable. For vegan version, substitute honey with agave. Toss gently to avoid mashing avocado. Let salad rest briefly to meld flavors but serve soon to keep avocado fresh.
