Avocado Corn Salad
By the QuiteRecipes team (Jamy & Kaïna) | Food Service Professional, Early Childhood Expert & Parents
A vibrant summer salad combining the sweetness of grilled corn, the creaminess of avocado and the tanginess of a lime-garlic vinaigrette.
Grilled corn and cool avocado are the summer pairing we never get tired of. The char brings smoke, the avocado brings cream, and together they make the side dish that disappears long before the burgers do.
